Christmas in the Dining Room, Part 1, 2018

 Welcome to my Christmas Blog, A Debbie-Dabble Christmas!!

I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!!

Our oldest son Joe won a whole turkey at work when they held a drawing entering those who donated to a local Food Drive......

I was a bit intimidated because it has been over 20 years since I made a whole turkey as I usually just make a turkey breast.......

It turned out well even though craving it became a challenge!!

As Joe said it was the only piece of dead meat that seemed to fight back!!!

I was going to show you the upstairs Sitting Room decorated for Christmas in this post but truth be known, until I am done decorating, everything that comes down from the attic is stored in that room until it can go back up to the attic......

Since I really can not even walk in that room right now, I decided to show you the Dining Room decorated for Christmas instead which I will be doing in 2 posts......

So today, I will be sharing Part 1 of the Dining Room.........

Let's start over here by the buffet...

Over in the corner by the Kitchen.....

A Christmas swag that I made hangs over a Home Interiors picture.....

Underneath the picture on a shelf sits a Lenox Santa......

On the floor in the corner......

2 Santa's dressed in pink, both bought at Church Flea Markets.....

Hanging on the handles of the drawers of the buffet are gold stockings with pink angel wings attached to them......

 I have decorated the Dining Room in pink, white and gold.......

Last year, I bought this Santa wall hanging at Michael's......

I decorated the buffet like this for a few years now and this year, I did things a bit differently......

Other years, I decorated the 2 gold Trees on the buffet with small pink ball ornaments and white snowflakes.......

This year, I just decorated them with white snowflakes.......

They are topped with a pink star and also have 2 birds on each Tree.......

Beneath the Tree on the left side......

I have used 2 sets of white and gold figurines that were bought at Sam's Club many years ago to decorate the buffet......

On top of a mirrored gold cake stand......

Is a Tree from one of the sets......

The gold reindeer were bought at Walmart several years ago.....

Above the buffet on a gold shelf......

Sits a white and gold Santa......

In the center of the buffet is Santa and his sleigh.......

2 gold glittered bottle brush trees are on each side of the sleigh.....

You can see that I scattered gold and pink ornaments throughout the display......

Over on the right side of the buffet......

Is the other gold Tree.......

 These Trees are 2 of 3 decorated Trees in the Dining Room......

Underneath this Tree.......

 Other years, I used 2 clear houses that I called Ice Houses in the display on the buffet as you can see in the photo below......

This year, in a future post, you will see them in the Living Room......

Next to the buffet.......

Is a small curio.......

Above the curio......

A white angel sits on a mirrored gold shelf.....

Underneath the shelf on top of the curio......

A large pink mercury glass votive filled with some florals.......

A white and gold house that I bought many years ago at Big Lot's......

3 Department 56 Snow Babies .......

A crystal vase filled with more florals......

On the floor in front of the curio......

I added a few ornaments and berries inside the curio to give it a bit of a Christmas touch......

2 pink angels flank the curio......

Next to the curio is the hutch........

On top of the hutch......

An angel dressed in green hangs above......

To the left......

A few Christmas figurines......

I bought this pink church a few years ago in Target for 75% off , just $5.00........

Over to the right.....

On the window that divides the Dining Room from the Living Room.......

A wreath that I made......

The Season's Greetings sign was bought at Micheal's last year.....

And that completes Part 1 of my tour of the Dining Room all decked out for Christmas.....

In my next post, I will be sharing Part 2 of the Dining Room......

   So I hope you will come by and visit  again!!
