My mom has the same china you have, the Royal Albert Old Country Rose pattern:-) My dad had bought her the 12 place settings a few years before he died and she treasures it. If I had 20 people to eat here, they'd all have to be standing! lol I've had 16 and believe me, there was no room to move.<br /><br />I don't know if I could last two weeks without blogging but I have been taking some breaks here and there while I was getting all my preparations ready. I only have Corey coming home for Christmas and of course mom & Ross will come for dinner but that's about it so it will be a quiet Christmas. <br /><br />We're having quite the snowstorm today, I'm glad I don't have to go out! Several inches of snow has fallen and more before the day ends!! xoxoCarole Buranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497329055251626140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3791304731827660383.post-77648921528036529972009-12-09T08:39:52.559-08:002009-12-09T08:39:52.559-08:00Your tables look great and how fun to enjoy all th...Your tables look great and how fun to enjoy all those people at a Christmas dinner.

It seems like I just did Thanksgiving dinner but I enjoy cooking for big crowds so that is fine!<br /><br />You've inspired me with my sewing and I have a table runner all done except sewing on the rest of the eyes and a few other little things! I must check out the Friday night sew in.<br /><br />I think it's a good idea to take a break from blogging for a couple of weeks before Christmas. I may do that also or just put in a paragraph or two here and there. Of course I would have to keep reading the ones that are still writing! I'm too nosey, I don't want to miss anything!<br /><br />Just got home from chruch and changed into some sweats and comfy clothes. We got a nice snowfall last night so T and D were planning to make snowmen after they got home. Winter has arrived!<br /><br />Guess I'll go try to finish up that table runner.
