It's the First Sunday After Christmas . . .
And so today we light the
Christ candle
That's the big
candle in the center
of the Advent Wreath
And since it is Sunday
it's time for tea!
In the breakfast room
with the Advent Wreath
And the poinsettia that was on the dining room table.
It does bring a spot of Christmas red to the breakfast room!
And for tea treat?
The last of the Christmas mince pies!
Alas, our Christmas dishes are washed and put away
"for a long winter's sleep"
To be gotten out next year
on the First Sunday of Advent
But since it is still a special tea
We're using our "very best" blue and white dishes
Spode's Camilla with a gold rim
I'm sharing my First Sunday in Christmas Tea with Sandi at Rose Chintz Cottage for Tea Time Tuesday and with Marty at A Stroll Thru Life for Inspire Me Tuesday.

I love mince pie! My sisters and mom and I used to make tiny mince tarts every year at Christmas. :-) Your blue spode dishes look beautiful any time of year.
Just beautiful Martha!
Love those dishes and your beautiful tradition.
A beautiful table setting!
Martha, your table setting is lovely and your Spode is simply gorgeous! I will be making mincemeat tarts for New Year's Day. I always make them on New Years to celebrate my birthday. They are a favourite with my friends who always drop in to help celebrate with me. Thank you for sharing your special advent post with us at Tea Time and have a healthy and joyful New Year, my friend!
Blessings,
Sandi
I have enjoyed your teas as you lit the advent candles.
Mincemeat tarts are a tasty side to a hot cup of tea, and yours look delicious.
Happy New Year.
