Hello sweet friends !
I had so much fun creating this table for a luncheon today. I have a collection of Nutcrackers that started several years ago when my mom gave me an adorable, chubby one with drums for my birthday in Oct., I immediately bought a tall one and then the rest is history.
I also added a German traditional 'Incense Smoker' hubby also gifted me on a birthday many years ago.
I was in the mood for some baking such as a 'German Kugelkopf' bread and a small fruit cake.
The 'German Kugelkopf' recipe came out of the Nordic Ware bundt mold I bought a few years ago. It is very delish. I usually leave the raisins in Kirsch liquor the day before, or any other nice liquor of choice and I add walnuts too, in order to make it more festive.
Without much ado, here is my fun tablescape for this Christmas holiday.

| It all started with the chubby Nutcracker my dear mom gifted me for my birthday one Oct. several years ago. |
| Then I bought the tall one at your left and then the others here and there thru the years and now I own 9, plus a German Incense Smoker Alejandro gave me. |

Alejandro warmes his piece of bread and adds butter and marmalade like any other bread and it is great too !
