Decorate your Kitchen for Christmas

   With all the holiday cooking that happens in our kitchen, it is a regular gathering place for the family.  So, I want it to have the same holiday feeling as the rest of the house.    I decorate the counters but I keep the island cleaned off for cooking and serving!
The "food" on the counters is all "fat free", but there will be plenty of holiday goodies on the island.

I spotted this ceramic three tiered cake at Hobby Lobby the other day and thought it would look perfect with my other ceramic food.  I also got my Chef Nutcracker there....  

I have had this hand painted cake plate for many years....

it is almost always out on the counter.   I hope you aren't tired of seeing it!

We have the Keurig set up on this side of the kitchen and a regular pot on the other side by the sink....we've found it's handier there.

I have a large coffee cup and plenty of flavored coffees for holiday entertaining.
We have a friend in Alaska that sent us these wonderful flavored coffees for the holidays...yummy

Don't forget to decorate your kitchen for Christmas!

  22. Penny, I love decorating my kitchen for Christmas. Like you, we spend a lot of time there. Yours looks darling! I love the new tiered cake. I do a lot of candy and gingerbread themed items in the kitchen. This year I have both upstairs and down. It'll be fun to see what I end up doing. Haven't started my decorating yet. You are way ahead of me. Thanks for sharing with SYC.
    hugs,
    Jann
