Holiday Centerpiece (141/365)
Part of our holiday decorations in the living room. This centerpiece is on our coffee table. Yes, those ARE antlers....

The Table
I had fun with the centerpiece this year. It was so different from the kind of thing I usually do. The reindeer are from Pottery Barn, the little snowflake candles holders from Crate & Barrel..

Christmas Eve with the Family (148/365)
Christmas Eve, for as long as I can remember, has been spent with my Dad's side of the family. When his parents were living, we would go to their house and spend time with one another, eat dinner (either turkey with the fixins or lasagna) and unwrap gifts. My parents began holding Christmas Eve festivities at our house shortly after Pappy and Grandma passed away. It's a nice tradition and generally a fairly relaxing day -- depending on whether or not the Steelers are playing. ;o) There were some miscommunications this year, but we still had a nice day. This is the centerpiece on one of our tables. I love that Mom could go out and cut fresh pine and pick up fresh pine cones to go on the table. It was a nice touch. :o).
