I am so excited to be in our new home this year for all the holidays.  Last year we traveled to family members for most of the family get-togethers since we lived so far away, plus our house was sold and I was deep in packing mode -  but this year I get to host!!!

The day after Christmas all of my family will be here except for two, so I will get to host a Christmas get -together for 18, I am totally over the moon.  This is going to be so much fun, I can hardly wait.

  Since I am hosting Thanksgiving,  I decided to combine my Thanksgiving and Christmas decor together.  As you know I love to shop Goodwill for all kinds of Holiday decor and I usually find the perfect things for my tablescapes.  Some family members will be sharing Thanksgiving with In-laws, so I will have a small gathering of 7.
 I set the table in the Dining Room with a mix of gold and silver.   I love to mix metals, and I love a little sparkle.

This is really just a random mix of things I found at Goodwill several years ago.  This wonderful reindeer is the only thing I bought at Home Goods last year.

The little mirror Christmas tree came from the Dollar Tree a few years back too.

 Isn't this Angel gorgeous"

These candles are a little over the  top, but I think they are so fun.  I found those at Goodwill too.

A simple tablescape in gold and silver that is perfect to go with my staircase garland.
