BJ, There's nothing wrong with plastic/paper plates, but I'm with you- I want real silverware! Who wants to cut something with a flimsy plastic knife? Not me...
I hope you enjoy a night of fun and festivities on Christmas Eve. That bread looks awful yummy... Have a very blessed Christmas Day, too! lots of hugs and kisses, Sue
Well, here I am baking my buns off and you are still posting! Where do you get your energy??
It all looks good..here's to the Merriest Christmas to you and yours!
God bless!

BJ, I think I have used the same exact "china" as you will be using! There is nothing wrong with it.
Have a wonderful Christmas Eve with your family/friends...Merry Christmas!
White chocolate and apricot bread? Where has that been all my life? I have to go Google that!
Mmmm, your bread looks scrumptious, BJ. Enjoy your Christmas eve dinner. I hope you all have a Blessed and Merry Christmas!...Christine
I love the Crosses, the cloches and the candy canes!! (I didn't mean for that to be alliterative, I promise!)
;)
I pray many blessings on you this Christmas!
MERRY CHRISTMAS! Hugs, Lana
Love the breads! I love the candle too! I need one that big, mine are small. Merry Christmas
LOL BJ, you are soooo funny! So what is Santa bringing you this year? I love your red flatware, btw! Now everyone in Blogland is going to want red flatware! :-)
Have a wonderful Christmas!

Paper/plastic for us too! We have at least 50 for our Christmas Eve gathering! Our family gets together in the Church fellowship hall, finger foods and gifts for the kids. It is fun, lots of enjoying family time. Have a wonderful Christmas Eve dear BJ and God Bless you and your family!
BJ, love your sense of humor and the red flatware. Susan is right. Everyone is going to want some red flatware. There will only be five of us for dinner tomorrow evening. Just finished setting my table, so won't share it till next week. I always a bit behind it seems. I admire all of you who are on top of things.
Thank you for your thoughtful friendship. I so appreciate your kind emails and sweet comments. Wishing you a very happy holiday with your family.
Christmas hugs ~ Sarah

Bj.. what a darling table. I'm with you I don't care for plastic when I'm eating. I'm sure your night of acitivities is going to be fun filled. Your bread looks so delicious..From our home to yours we wish you a Very Merry Christmas...hugs ~lynne~
BJ you are freakin' hilarious!!! The BeeGees! Ha! I love it girl!
Oooh BJ...
Add one more person to the menu, sweetie I am knocking at the door for some of that white chocolate and apricot bread, let me in.
I love paper plates. I think they are the best. I use Chinet all the time, and I keep Solo cups on hand with all of our grandkids around, there is no way I am not using them. They get out a cup every 15-20 minutes. I write their name on a cup, and they use 1 cup while they are at the house for a visit.
I even ordered out this year. I am not cooking Christmas day. I am baking deserts and making rolls, and the rest is being made for me.
Yippee Skippee for me.
Have a beautiful Christmas BJ, and thank you for being such a wonderful new friend. I so enjoy visiting with you, and love it when you come to see me.
Country hugs and so much love...Sherry
I think it is wonderful when you can have so many people that you have to use plastic and paper, I will always take too many people rather then not enough...bless you and your wonderful family and have a very merry Christmas...
We used to get all decked out and use our china for the holidays.....ha, it didn't take long to decide that was a no no!!! YAY...for paper plates!!!!
Merry Christmas sweet BJ. I'm really going to try and do better at blogging next year!!!
Luv ya
Your bread looks wonderful...what makes entertaining easy is what works for you...enjoy the party.
Merry Christmas,
Susan

Your displays and pics make paper plates look terrific! Anything can be dressed up with the right accessories and you've done it! Hope you have a fun night and a very Merry Christmas!

Very festive and beautifully put together! I also have people coming over Christmas Eve but I was not as smart as you with the paper products! I am re-thinking that right now and may make a quick walmart run in the morning! You are right..who wants to do dishes while everyone else is playing!
Merry Christmas!
Karyn
I have some of that red flatware and believe me... I'm using it!! It is just going to be a very small group for Christmas Eve dinner...but if I were having a larger group...I am with you with the red plastic/paper plates! Merry Christmas to you and yours! Hugs!
