A Christmas Tea

Click now for JiffNotes

You know when you walk up to the door that you're in for a good time.
 

Your table is personalized, just for you.
 

Your sparkling flavored water awaits.
 

You can start anticipating by perusing the soup choices for the day.
 

Then the tea comes, and it's time to get down to serious business. Cream and sugar? Yes, thank you.
 

Chocolate chip and white chocolate cranberry scones await clotted cream and jam. And more clotted cream.
 

Isn't this cup just the most gorgeous thing ever??
 

Pretty red beet soup looks very festive with a Christmas tree crouton.
 

Be sure to pause to admire the decorations around you. And, if you're lucky, the Winter birds outside the window.
 

 

 

Then the savories arrive. Cucumber and cream cheese Christmas trees, cranberry and pistachio chicken salad, onion and gruyere tarts and curried egg salad sandwiches.
 

But save room for the sweets!
