Christmas Spirit Abounds

A holiday tradition I absolutely love is the annual Christmas Tea at Sierra Pines Church in Oakhurst. It's a time of giving as it is a major fundraiser for the Women's Ministry program at the church. The tea itself was beautifully catered, the time spent with my daughter and granddaughter was priceless, and the room full of raffle treasures was quite popular and raised enough money for the program to run smoothly for a year without using any of the church's operating funds. At our table there were many winners including Jen, Karah, a me! As we were leaving the church for the evening we could truly feel the Christmas spirit kick in.

Tea sandwiches, scones, and sweets . . . plus tea served in a beautiful tea cup and saucer that everyone was invited to take home as a souvenir . . . and a fun night spent with Jen and Karah . . . life is good!

A wonderful Christmas tradition, thank you Jen!
Life is good!

That always looks like such a lovely time. I'd totally go if I lived closer! You didn't mention raffles...if I recall Karah scored last year.

I love women's ministry fundraisers. We had a boutique this year and it was quite a hit with many wonderful vendors and items (homemade and otherwise) for sale.

Wish I had been there, love those little sandwiches and scones, and tidbits!! Will always remember our tea at the Huntington Library!The times at "Frills" were so fun with the hats and boas. I also like the one on Prospect Dr. in Pomona. Love the picture we have.
