Over the weekend we hosted a holiday party for a group of neighbors.
There were 23 of us in all.
I had intended to snap a few photos throughout the evening, but this is the only one I took.
One neighbor came early and assembled her homemade sangria.
Many oranges and lemons were juiced for this.
It was very tasty as well as festive.
One neighbor brought this darling floral arrangement in the Milk For Santa vase.
Next to it is one of the waxed amaryllis I mentioned in my previous post. They arrived the day before Thanksgiving. This one is just beginning to emerge from the bulb. There are four of them. I'm curious to see how they do. One hasn't started to grow yet. They are supposed to take 3-5 weeks til bloom time. They require no care and can be placed anywhere according to the instruction label. I like that type of gardening, especially at this busy time of year.
Hosting this party forced me to do my Christmas decorating early.
Also forced me to clean the house more thoroughly than normal.
I'm happy to report that the party was a success and now it is so nice to relax and enjoy the clean and decorated house.
Have a wonderful week!!
