Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas we were away from our families. So Blake and I thought for Christmas Eve Dinner it would be fun to invite the missionaries. So we asked them at church on Sunday and told them to arrive at 6:30 sharp for a rockin good time! On our walk home from church that day Blake and I were discussing our upcoming festivities for the Christmas season and I realized we had no table to feed the Missionaries upon. The more I pondered this thought The more I thought about other essential things we always had on Christmas Eve in my home growing up. You know what I mean besides the scrumptious food Christmas eve always had a well decorated table with all the trimmings, and we had NO TABLE and NO MONEY To buy the trimmings. The next day was Monday and as I walked down Kings Highway I noticed a store was going out of business. (I always love a good sale). The store was filled with the strangest assortment of merchandise. As I wandered down the aisle my mind started a turning and I began noticing Items that I could use to decorate for our Christmas Eve dinner. (by this time we had decided to use our bedroom door as the table.) Some Doilies and cellophane a white shower curtain for the table cloth. A discounted set of white icicle lights. some silver napkin rings and 3 sterling silver platters. I took all my treasures to counter and they rang up to a whopping $10.95!!!
