The last of the dining room

First we have to have our Monday pic of Jerzie. I cheated today. My daughter took this picture a week ago but I love it and knew you would too.
The china closet is full of Christmas dishes just waiting for Christmas Eve. I put a few extra things in the secretary for the holidays.

My block puzzle, that I wrote about here, depicts the true meaning of Christmas.
I just found these miniature Christmas books. They are from the 1930's. Aren't they adorable? I just had to have them!
I got this nativity that my Aunt Sig made when she went into a nursing home.
It sets on top of my Great Grandmothers book case. Next to the bookcase is a settee that belonged to my Dad's family. My Mom gave it to my Aunt Sig (Dad's sister) several years ago. There is a straight chair and a rocking chair to go with it. I told my cousin if no one in their family wanted it, I did. The wood was in good shape, it just took a lot of scrubbing, but the upholstery was awful. My uncle had done it. I had the springs fixed and had it reupholstered. I love it. Now I have all the pieces that were in our dining room as I was growing up.
Well, that's it for the dining room. Next is the kitchen. I'll put the coffee pot on but I haven't made any Christmas cookies yet!

I'd hire Pea to do my Christmas baking, since she's all done with everything! Your Jerzie is just a doll baby!
Loved the old golden books. Do you have green depression glass? I have a small amount from my great grandma.
It's very Christmasy!
