I finally put up my Christmas decorations today.
Just made it under the wire.
I’m not usually this tardy. But a slew of business travel in December left me only two days to prep the apartment for the holidays.
My Christmas decor is much like my day-to-day — contemporary, with graphic patterns and solid colors. But there are a couple of pieces from my childhood that still make the cut.
One is a vintage tabletop sleigh complete with Santa, elf, reindeer and — best of all — a sack of toys with real toys inside. They are teeny tiny things, probably saved from Cracker Jack prizes (back when they were actually cool) and party favors.
We always loved knowing that there was real loot in that tiny bag. But we weren’t surprised…
Santa — even the tabletop variety — always comes through.
Heads up
I have discovered the perfect holiday party accoutrement:
Reindeer antlers
The first party was seated at a large table in the back, the diners serenely enjoying their meals created by Chef Eric.
The second party was awaiting their table near the second level bar, and the gentlemen were all wearing reindeer antlers.
Who was having more fun? Take a guess.
So to all of you party planners out there currently contemplating your menus, libations, and decorations, make your list. Check it twice.
Wouldn’t holiday head gear for your guests be NICE??
