Before everything gets put away
I have to post my exquisite MC
Santa's Sleigh table.
This beautiful piece was the center
of my kitchen table all through
the holidays and it was where we
ate Christmas morning breakfast.
I chose a hot pink petalled tablecloth
to go with some of the ornaments in
Santa's Sleigh and chose a stack of plates
starting with a clear beaded plate, a
scalloped MC plate and topped it with
a delicate Christmas Tree plate.
It was magical in my magical kitchen.
This is the first time we used the MC goblets
that I got at last year's Barn Sale.
The sleigh is filled with vintage style ornaments
and was a splurge from Mrs. Claus last year.
I love the little deer tucked in and
the beautiful ribbons.
Everything is unbreakable, so although they
look like glass ornaments, they are plastic.
I know the sleigh will be coming
out every year to grace our home.
We always leave everything up until after
my birthday in January.
It is always sad to put everything away.
The house always feels so naked, but
soon I can decorate for Valentine's Day.
Thanks for stopping by
Purple Chocolat Home.

Oh the magic of Christmas Eve at
Purple Chocolat Home!
How I love to set the tables and
change them up just a bit each year.
This year it is all white and with
snow out on the deck and mountains
behind, it is just perfect.
The furniture is moved out of the living room
and if you have been following me
for years, you know that it then turns
into the Great Room.
You can see that the table
on the front is the tall table
for adults and teens, and
the short table in the back
is for the smallest elves,
but Papa and Nana Claus
will be sitting with them for
a special night.
Everyone gets a goblet.
I bought these at Dollar Tree,
so there isn't a worry about them
getting broken. White and silver
chargers sit underneath
the crowned plates - one set
that I have enough of for
this fun crowd.
I ran silver sequined runners
down the table and added
white and silver feathered trees
(new this year from At Home).
The beautiful silverplate was from
Horchow years ago and is no longer
available.
With the candles lit and the fireplace going,
everything just sparkles.
The candelabras were from my oldest
daughter's wedding and were purchased
20 years ago. They have been used
over and over and over.
We are all set and ready for guests.
Hoping for a Merry Christmas for
everyone. And we hope you are all
healthy and happy too.

kids coming this year either. We all
decided we would spend Thanksgiving,
or Friendsgiving together in Cabo.
The first thing they noticed was our new gate
to the driveway of our home. Miss Madi K
decided to grace the gates with her presence.
We added the gates because other cars were
using our driveway as a turnaround and sure
enough, someone ran into our garage doors.
We quickly called our builder and asked him
to add gates.
The builder, MarCor, designed the gates to
coordinate with the interior railing. We thought
he did an amazing job with his design.
Miss Madi K also wanted to show off
my master closet. Certainly nicer than we
have at home! She feels so comfortable
and relaxed in this fabulous closet.
As always, going out to eat is one of
our favorite activities here in Cabo.
We love The Office for breakfast.
It is down on the beach and you
can take your shoes off and dig
your feet into the sand.
This year we discovered La Lupita, a new
taco shop. These are Wagyu Tostadas
served in a mini smoker. Of course, I would
love to have mini smokers like this for entertaining.
I did a search for them immediately online
but didn't find anything! I am sure they
are custom made for the restaurant.
Sunday we always cook at home and I
made these Tomahawk Steaks which we
served along with shrimp and cheese on
mini raclette machines.
Our big adventure this trip was a
dune buggy ride out in the desert.
We had a lot of fun, but they weren't as fun
as side by sides. They struggled in anything
that wasn't hard-packed sand. We thought
we were going to get to ride them on the
beach, but they had us stop and walk to
the beach - haha - that wasn't what we had
in mind when we signed up for the ride.
But the star of any of our trips here is
the home itself, with its beautiful
sunrise and sunset vistas,
and of course the pools.
Now we are off to race home to
begin all of the Christmas parties.
Miss Madi K and I have a full month
of fun ahead of us!

Does this Hot Chocolate Charcuterie
make your mouth water? I know it did
that for my grandkids! This was a huge hit!!!
So I put it right in their reach on my
Patience Brewster table.
The number one hit were these
itty bitty tiny freeze dried marshmallows.
I found these on Amazon.
Everyone loved the stir sticks also,
and you can find the sticks here.
Just dip several times in chocolate
and then roll in crushed candy canes.
I also freeze dried small scoops
of Peppermint Stick ice cream.
They just melt into your hot chocolate.
Right next to them I have Oreos
dipped in white chocolate and sprinkled
with crushed candy cane. You can't
imagine how good the whole board smelled!
Ghiradelli Santas, candy canes and a
new favorite - Gingerbread Oreos!
I loved the board as much as the kids.
We served the board at our
Christmas Cheermeister Event,
where we give the kids their
Christmas money. We asked them
to wear pajamas and we served
a Christmas breakfast of crepes.
We also celebrated a few birthdays.
It was a great evening to kick off
Christmas! These sparkler candles
are everyone's favorites, so we had
to light one for each birthday!
You can find those here.
This was a huge charcuterie, but
you can put one together on a
much smaller scale. This fed
30 and we had a lot leftover.
Thanks for joining us in a little
family fun!
Enjoy!

Maleficent and Diaval were out in full
glory last night for trick or treating.
Here in Utah when Halloween falls on
Sunday we trick or treat on Saturday
night. We were blessed with a warm day
and perfect weather.
The catalyst for this year's theme was
this Maleficent throne that I got
last year from Throne Kingdom.
I decided since Maleficent had her
wings stripped from her that her
detached wings should hang on the
chair above her head.
We decided against hosting
trick or treaters with Covid last year,
so Maleficent's throne finally came out.
It was featured in my entry last year
and some of the grandkids posed
on it. It stands 92 inches tall and
is quite magnificent. We ordered a second
one to put in our theater room if we ever
get started building our new home.
The costume was ordered off Amazon
last year also. I didn't wear it to the two
Halloween dinners we hosted as it is huge
and heavy and the headpiece is heavy also,
so I used an old one that was lighter weight.
Since I was just sitting on my throne, the
dress was perfect for the evening.
Everyone wanted to know how we got the
green glow. That was achieved by two
green light bulbs I purchased off Amazon.
We shot two fog machines at the doors and
the green reflected off the fog.
I was surprised how many people didn't
know who Diaval was - her sidekick crow
that she turned into a human when she
needed his help and then turned back
into a crow, a horse and a bear when
she needed.
If you want to see a movie of
Maleficent's outfit check out

We had 600 kids (and parents)
come to the door -
whew - that's a lot of candy!
