Christmas Eve Table Setting

Gotcha!  Did you think I've set my table for our Christmas Eve 2010 dinner already?  No, this photo is from last year.  We always try to have a nice, quiet and relaxed Christmas Eve dinner. (Before the wild gift opening!) Last year Jessica made delicious smoked salmon, a special salad, flavored potatoes and deviled eggs.  I always make a yummy dessert.  I think I'll make a cheesecake this year!

My glassware is Princess House.  I love all my Princess House pieces!

My china set is by Noritake, "Spring Field".  It was discontinued in 1986 and my set is not complete. It's a game, I always look for it in the thrift stores, never finding it. One day I may be lucky, though, so I never give up. I know I can buy replacement pieces online at both Replacements and eBay, but both are very pricey.  
I'm trying to build up to a set of 12.  I have 10 plates, so I'm not far.  I'm lacking most of the salad plates.  I have tea cups and saucers.  Enough of them, anyway, as no one ever uses them. Except me....on Christmas Eve.....
           
Also notice in the background of the frist photo is my Christmas-December Advent countdown board.  I'm making one now as a gift, and will "show and tell" about it in another post!

What will be your Christmas Eve menu this year?

Blessings, Heidi
