Only kidding - tomorrow is my annual Christmas luncheon for 7 of my dear friends. As you know I do this every year and each year I try and do a different colour. Last year was bronze and gold and the year before was black and silver etc. etc.

This year it's traditional Red, Green and Gold. Trev and I moved all the furniture around in the back room yesterday and I spent a long time last night setting the table up and putting the decorations in place.

I am now happy with the end result. We had to put 2 fold up tables together and I placed yellow tablecloths on them and then on top a gorgeous Pointsettia cloth. On their plates is the Waterfall Sachet from John Deer, on the side plate is the Napkin I made with Lee and Beutelhexe's napkin rings tucked on the end. In front of the plates is the tea towel with a Christmas tree decoration on top of that. to the right of the plate is the little gift bag which will have some chocolates put in them and on top of them is the FSL boot in Red and then I'd done a heart in red and white and alternate the hearts for each person. Lots of work in them all but they look great.

Now I can't wait to see their faces! I just pray it won't be too hot. Love and blessings Chris

Another winner! You are very creative and do such beautiful work. I am sure it would be a hit without any of the "frills" but they do make for alot of fun and such a delightful setting. I hope everything goes to plan without any snags but... that would even make it more interesting for all. Enjoy the food and the company and I am sure all of you will remember the reason for the season. Your presentation is beautiful and I am sure the company/friends will enhance the whole affair! Thanks for sharing just a piece of your fun with all of us! Merry Christmas to you, family and friends! Hugs, Linda

Thanks Lynn - love your Christmas Avatar! We had a great day and really enjoyed ourselves. We had wonderful news of babies - one that WAS born on Thursday and we only found out today that my friend's daughter (my God-daughter)is pregnant on the IVF programme - it's early days so we hope everything goes well for her.

Merry Christmas to you and your family too. Love Chris
