Cup of Christmas Cheer

At a recent visit to the local mall, I spotted the most adorable thing...

A pair of Arctic hares enjoying a cup of tea outside Santa's cabin. Too cute!

 'Tis the season for enjoying copious amounts of tea!

 Earlier this month, I hosted a Christmas tea party with my relatives which gave me the opportunity to use my holiday teawares.

I used two of my Christmas teapots: Spode's "Christmas Tree" (left) and Maxwell & Williams "Baubles" (right).

My "United Nations" of teacups with holly and ivy and poinsettia patterns:
Lefton - Japan (top left); Blue Bird - Canada (top right); Duchess - England (bottom left).
I didn't have enough seasonal teacups so I also used my Bareuther Waldsassen - Germany (bottom right) set which I thought looked Christmassy...

Last week, we had our last tea social of the year at the office.

I brought in my Maxwell & Williams "Baubles" teapot and mugs.

The Christmas sweets brought in by my co-workers.

At a friend's afternoon tea party this past weekend, I enjoyed sipping my tea from the Royal Albert "Yuletide" teacup.

Wishing you a Blessed Christmas Season!
