Christmas is a wonderful sparkly, shiny time of the year when we celebrate all that is good with the world. Our annual bookclub Christmas dinner is one of the highlights of the social calendar. On the eve of hosting this year’s dinner, I’m sharing these photos from a past event.
The theme for this dinner was silver and white. It was fun to wrap a present for each place setting (a Christmas mug), using the traditional Japanese technique of wrapping in cloth (furoshiki). This is a great way to wrap using materials that can easily be recycled.
As we celebrate Christmas in all its shiny and sparkling goodness, I’m reminded of the greatest gift giver.
“Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.” James 1:17
Next week I’ll share all the details of this year’s event!
