CHRISTMAS IN THE KITCHEN

I finally stopped long enough to finish my kitchen tree. Yeah! It's always George's favorite. My Mom and I started it years ago. She and my Aunt Sherry have picked up quite a few of the ornaments over the years.

Of course, Santa has to be on top. He's been busy making a gingerbread house and gingerbread cookies. Coffee anyone?





I love the little coffee mug with my name on it that my Mom found for me.

Next...stuffing stockings...all 21 of them. George only does one - mine :-)
~~~~~~
HoHoHo! I'm making some progress.



Hugs and kisses,
Kat

Oh Kat! I love it. It would be my favorite one too. I have a little one in my kitchen that I started buying and scouring the house for last year. Not as many things as you have yet but it is fun!

Wow! 21 stockings!! I have 3 to do and am still looking for more stockings stuffing things!

Love,
Sue

How adorable! I like your theme. I always have a little Christmas tree in my kitchen. It's for my pets. I hang little animals on it. I love having different trees throughout the house.

Hi Kat, it's in NMB. It's just a small little 2nd home, although now that it's mostly decorated, I'm longing for a new project. Thanks for following! Have a great weekend!

Your kitchen tree is wonderful! Being the Santa collector I am, I absolutely love your topper!

Many years ago, on the farm, we had a Kitchen tree. It was so much fun collecting the pieces and putting it together. I'm sure those pieces are in a corner of the Christmas storage all but forgotten. J has found long forgotten Christmas, this year. I'm surprised he didn't find the kitchen ornaments!

Hope your weekend is wonderful.

Melissa said...

Dear sweet Kat,

Thank you for your prayers and sweet words. I am feeling much better.

BTW! The tree is beautiful.

Thank you for your friendship.

Love Melissa

Andi said...

Your kitchen tree is adorable Kat!!! Love the Santa at the top. I have a small tree in our kitchen with ornaments that looks like cookies. Perhaps I'll post a photo.

Jill said...

How very, very neat! I can see why it's George's favorite. I must have missed you writing about this last year. Speaking of stockings.... we have that tradition, but a certain someone (Husband) forgot to fill mine last year and it was not a pretty situation. Needless to say, he's already been reminded by the two oldest that he must fill mom's stocking. Fill it to the brim, I say! ha!
