As I was putting away Thanksgiving decorations and bringing out Christmas ones, I was surprised to see that the pumpkins at my front door were still in perfect condition! Since I adore all things fall, I could not bring myself to part with them. So they are worked into my Christmas decorations!! This lovely pumpkin became the main attraction for my dining table centerpiece. Along with some, what I call, little pumpkinettes, a scattering of nandina berries from my yard and a variety of nuts, our Christmas table is ready and waiting to host the big family dinner. And who doesn’t love when you end up with soft bokeh (blurriness in the background) from big and colorful old-fashioned lights on the tree? Merry Christmas to all!
