The Breakfast Area dressed for Christmas

 I can't believe Christmas is just a few days away, I still have so much to do!! I haven't even begun to start my baking, I better get movin!
Here's our breakfast area dressed up for Christmas...
 For my centerpiece I simply used some greens and a red poinsettia and placed them in this antique pot that I've had for years. The plaid placemats I just picked up in HomeGoods.
 
 Added some greenery and ribbon to the light fixture for a festive touch.
 And here's my kitchen tree...
 
 I just wrapped some berry and twig garland around it to fill it out and made a simple bow for the top(using my favorite ribbon!)
 
  Thanks so much for stopping by! I know you all must be super busy too! 
Are you all ready for Christmas?!?

    What a beautiful room Martina! Your tablescape is fabulous, along with the cute tree. I'm sure you had a lovely and blessed Christmas my friend. I got back yesterday after a 3 hour drive from our daughter's and today I hosted my mother's 83 tea b'day..I am exausted, but still I posted it before anyone came over. Wishing you a wonderful new year, filled with happiness, health and prosperity for all of you.
