Christmas Canines

The Curtis Collies are always part of our Christmas.

A wonderful tradition of dining with the dogs at our feet will ever more meaningful.

The Byer's Collection of carolers will be performing among the trees and candles.

 Our centerpiece of the dog nutcracker will be lighted at dusk!

 The appropriate Tipson tea tin with a Christmas puppy will be opened and the green tea will be served on Christmas Day.

How exciting to find two Bryer's Collection dogs, the black Labrador and golden retriever, will sing their heartfelt Christmas carol. They both coordinate with the china.

To the left of the center of the table is a puppy dressed in a Christmas Sweater.

To the right of the center is a pup waiting on a Christmas treat! Maybe some turkey. 

The Christmas place setting is highlighted by red and green stripes and plaid. the red Santa Paws adds the puppy prints.

 The Celtic Canines China has four different dogs dressed for Christmas. The red and white toboggan and scarf adorn a golden retriever in the center of the plate.

A black lab replicates Santa in a stocking cap.

 Antlers with bells are so festive on a precious pug.

 The German shepherd poises with a green and red ribbon collar and green holly.

The pug and retriever mugs coordinate with the appropriate plates.

Theses mugs of the lab and shepherd match the china plates. They will be filled with hot green tea  for a warm feeling.

May you be happy and merry on Christmas Day!
