My 84-year-old mother still likes to do Christmas to the hilt. On Tuesday of this week (with the help of my Aunt and me) she hosted a holiday luncheon for 8 grateful ladies. Part of her Santa collection took center stage on her very elaborate table.
 |
| Each guest took home a snowman lollipop made of white chocolate. |
 |
| My dad, aged 86, made the wooden tree candleholders. |
 |
| Here's another view of the candleholders. |
 |
| The red pressed-glass Santa bottle was my contribution. |
 |
| These Santa picks have been around for ages. They go back at least to the seventies. |
 |
| Santa was even on hand to serve the butter. |
 |
| This Santa riding a bicycle was one of more than 20 Santas that graced the table. |
 |
| The Snowman lolly up close. |
 |
| Santa is everywhere. |
 |
| A caroler oversaw things from the sideboard. |
 |
| Lunch is served! |
 |
| Chocolate cheesecake topped with strawberries, whipped cream, and drizzled with chocolate was served on Santa plates. |
Such a beautiful tablescape...I see a Santa that I have too! Wishing you and your family a very Merry Christmas!

This is wonderful, Pattie! I love your dad's tree candleholders and that bike riding Santa.
