Today my quilt group had our Xmas lunch at the Runcorn Tavern. The meal was great with a choice of ham and turkey or fish, pavlova or plum pudding. Guess I was just too hungry when the food came as I forgot to take a photo.

We also exchanged our Secret Santa gifts early as one of our group is going on holidays on Friday and will be away for our break-up day in December.

| The above photos are what I received. A beautiful ceramic pot in a wire basket filled with rose potpourri, a handmade camel scissor holder and a fabric Xmas tree ornament. Thank-you to my Secret Santa. The camel is so cute, can't wait to use the tiny scissors. |

ReplyDeleteThe Xmas lunch looks very enjoyable. It is that time of the year when we have to make a lot of arrangements for loads of events. At one of the NYC venues I will be hosting the Halloween party soon and for the Xmas party, I haven’t started the preparations but will soon be working on some of the stuff like, venue selection, caterer and décor ideas.
