Happy Holidays?

It's almost Christmas! But you'd barely know it if you saw our apartment.  My grown-up didn't decorate this year for a couple reasons.  First, because she and her husband are looking for a condo and they already started packing all their junk (they've got a LOT of stuff!). Second, because my grown-up is still kinda sad about the box of her special sentimental ornaments that got stolen.  :(  BUT she and I made a realization today!  The thing we were most sad about was that all her Nana Zazuetta's ornaments were in that box, and decorating the tree with them made Christmas fun for her.  Today, however, she remembered she needed a platter to put some desserts on for the Zazuetta family party, and she also remembered she has two of her Nana's Christmas platters in her linen closet.  So she got out a really pretty one to use, and it made us both very happy!  We get to use Nana's special Christmas kitchen stuff like platters and towels and potholders, so make food and treats for people, just like Nana used to love doing!  That would make Nana so happy! 
This is the platter she is using for the party goodies, along with her favorite potholders from Nana's kitchen.
