Saturday, in the midst of a slushy, cold, wintery mix of rain & snow, over 100 women gathered at my church for "A Cozy Christmas" luncheon. Fourteen tables were decorated by different hostesses and a splendid potluck was enjoyed by everyone. There were soups, sandwiches and salads, casseroles and pasta dishes, veggies of all kinds, and most importantly....desserts!
The food and fellowship was wonderful.
Here's a peek at each table.
Actually there are two peeks at this table ~ the first one is Friday evening and
the second is Saturday ~ after the goldfish arrived!

Everything was just amazing. Despite the nasty weather outside we were all warm and cozy inside. Three hours to relax and enjoy one another's company and to eat yummy food! Yes, we enjoyed our friendly gathering with candlelight and pretty little favors.
But the best part was focusing on why we celebrate Christmas, the best part was remembering the birth of our Redeemer....the greatest gift of all.
