Christmas tea, oh Christmas tea...

[osprey_archer]

These many moons ago - well, one moon ago, really - I dreamily conceived a list of themed teas that I could inflict celebrate with my friends, and lo! one has come to pass: today we had a Christmas tea.

We rather cut back on the projected menu: four people can't eat gingerbread and a roast goose and chestnuts roasting on an open fire. But we did have gingerbread and sugar cookies!







I enlisted my friends to help decorate the cookies. They're not as beautiful as asakiyume's painted cookies (I intend to make painted cookies someday. Does the food coloring just come in a container with a little spout so you can direct the flow?), but they nonetheless have a toothsome charm.

Yes! The other teapot got out for the party!

I had Micky and Emma over for the tea, and also Monika, who I don't believe I've talked to you about. She's one of my high school friends, who I like seeing when we're in the same place - she's one of those people who is simply very nice and up for anything - but we don't exchange letters or anything when we're at opposite ends of the country.

Yay! :D I'm thrilled you got to use the other one for the tea party! <3

I don't believe I've heard of Monika before, but that's wonderful that you got to throw a tea party with friends! How neat! <3 :)
