Breakfast with Santa

Now I wouldn't admit this to everyone....but this year I've started my Christmas decorating....with setting the table. Most people hang the lights, the wreath on the door and put up the tree....not me! I'm starting with the dishes!


What could be a more delightful way to start Christmas than Breakfast with Santa!


I've layered one of my Christmas cloths over a plaid one.


Sorry about the glare....I was late getting started this evening. Please join us.



Looks like quite a gathering of Santas on the table.


Each year I add another Santa mug to my collection.



They're all different.


A few are antique (like me)...but none of the ones on the table today.


I believe all of these have been found over the years at Goodwill. Perfect for some hot cocoa.



I found these Santa candy dishes at CVS a couple of years ago. They're perfect for a breakfast muffin....or perhaps some cut fruit.


White salad plates....perfect for a stack of pancakes. When our kids were in high school....their choral groups always did a Santa Breakfast as a fundraiser. The little ones were always so cute. Now I have four grandgirls of my own....wouldn't they have a fun time at this Santa table.


Target flatware.



Pewter Santa napkin rings.



A view from Santa's sleigh.



And now for our guests of honor...


.....making a list....


....checking it twice.....



.....gonna find out.....


....who's naughty....


...who's nice!


Hope you'll have a chance to stop by "Between Naps on the Porch" to see all the pretty tablescapes hosted each week by Susan....I'm pretty sure she's ALWAYS on the nice list!

See ya!
