2019 Christmas Kitchen, Hot Cocoa Bar, and Poinsettia Tree

I finished decorating the kitchen yesterday and now I'm ready to have some fun entertaining friends and family!

I have decorated with a few live plants in the kitchen this Christmas......

I took advantage of the Black Friday sales and bought enough poinsettia's to make a Christmas tree with them.....

I've been digging out some of my older Christmas decor to use this year.   The red mailbox that I gave a white makeover to belonged to my mother     My thought on painting it white was that I could use it year round.....

I have the pass thru between the kitchen and family room set up with a Hot cocoa bar.

The centerpiece for my Hot Cocoa bar is a Santa and sleigh that belonged to my mother.    It's probably more than 15 years old and was one of her favorite Christmas decorations.     

I forgot to put in my caption that Santa's head also moves.

I love using the pass thru to serve on because I can use both sides.....

I have a few snacks set up today for H & I to munch on while we're decorating the house.

Macaron's are my favorite snack......H likes the peppermint sticks the best.

Here's the family room side of the pass thru......

I have a punch bowl set up here today,    but sometimes I have a crock full of hot chocolate there.

I always put out the recipe I'm using and copies for guest to take home if they would like to.    I haven't made my copies yet,   but when I do they will go in that little shelf under the recipe.

Sometimes I serve a fruit punch....but I think everyone likes the ice cream sherbet one the best

I shared a tour of the other side of the kitchen in an earlier post......

Here's a link to that post in case you missed it......http://penny-pennystreasures.blogspot.com/2019/12/christmas-kitchen-part-1.html
