A Foodie Friday Christmas

Twas the night before Foodie Friday,

and all through blogland, 
cooks set their tables with care.

The dishes were placed on tables with a plan,
in hopes that none would show dust, thumbprints
or even wild cat hairs.

The napkins were all nestled in bows and beads . . .
while dust motes danced and dazzled over their heads.

I love any kind of Christmas dish--edible or otherwise--but I especially love the ones that tell a story. The dishes in today's tablescape illustrate "The Christmas Poem." The pattern is "A Christmas Story" by Portmeirion, and each plate is embellished with artist Susan Winget's inimitable flair.

I've gathered a few festive ideas for you today:

Beribboned sugar cookies
