I have posted my dining room over the last couple of weeks, but have since changed a table, brought a bigger one in from kitchen area and switched. We are having 12 for dinner and this table is bigger with four leaves, could eat in the kitchen, but too messy.
all ready for the big day, this is our larger table, an oak double pedestal and so heavy, Frank and I moved it in, took the four leaves out first. This table is also 6 inches wider, sure makes a difference, now just need to move the extra chairs in,
oh... yeh the food would be great,
below is the white Christmas tree, decorations are purple, black and teal
the smaller table.
this is the tree in the kitchen, always have had a full size, that I won, from a decorating store. So I bought a smaller one -black although you can't tell and used the deocrations from the other one. Santa is laying beneath the tree, must take a picture of him alone, he's getting rested before the big day.
the tree skirt and the comforter on the back of the bench, match, belong to my daughter. She loves country, sort of country french-sort of.
the light has a gold cone that my grandson and I put on the lamp, doesn't quite reach the top, we need to lift it up, 
then Trey (grandson) added the greenery and the icicles
moving to our living room below, is our fireplace
because we use the fireplace so much, the stockings won't be put up yet.
the santa heads on each side are Jacqueline Kents, she is a
very popular designer in our area, but is in the states too, specializing inolder faces, expressions are beautiful.
one of my Santas in the sleigh, he has a fur coat on, must be hot in front of the fire...

for my grandsons
Fr
Franks great grandparents, they came over from Devon in the 1850's
our grandchildren are seventh generation in the same village...
this is the last tree
our bedroom and it's an angel tree
when our first grandson was born, his dad is from Jamaica, I started collecting
black angels, very hard to find at the time, in fact I think they still are. That was 20 years ago
this is a little alcove that I have a Victorian desk/dressing table in, great for the tree. The little black chandelier hanging above serves as the tree stopper.
some of the black angels a lot of white ones too. We have three black grandsons, both daughters married Jamaicans, and our son has one son and no girls have I mentioned that before?
that is the end of the Christmas Tree Tour, hope you enjoyed it, thankyou for visiting and please come again. I try to join Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage weekly.
