Christmas Holiday Entertaining in Phoenix

We had a lovely time entertaining clients this year in our 'Holiday Alcove'. Some evenings we had only 4 of us and other evenings there were up to 10 enjoying dinner and the Christmas Spirit! To set the scene, we greet them at the door with champagne! Of course Christmas music is playing in the background and there is no way people could not be instantly in the Christmas Holiday mood! Not possible around here!!

It's the time of year when we love to decorate every little nook and cranny inside and out and this year was no exception. The 'dinner alcove' is actually an outdoor side patio that magically transforms into another room year this time of year. It's magical! Everybody loves the small and intimate feel to our Holiday Alcove.

We look forward to several more dinners in the Holiday Alcove this season!

Merry Christmas To You and Yours!

James....I'm not much of a shopper so I consider it done! Time to relax and enjoy:)

Martha - it is! Magical!!

Lynn - Thanks I'm glad you're liking it. I just felt like I wanted to give something back to everyone here cause it's worked so well for me. And thanks - how did you know Christmas Eve was my birthday? That's kind of a non-birthday!!
