Old Time Santa and Vintage Dinnerware

Welcome to the 24th day of our 25 Days of Christmas Tablescapes. Today's table features an old time Santa and vintage dinnerware that many people will recognize. "Colonial Homestead" was popular in the 1950's and 1960's. Our set comes from Pat's husband. He acquired them before they were married as a "give away" with a purchase at the grocery store. (You can tell that no one in the family ever throws out anything....Pat and Jim have been married for 50 years and they still have those dishes.....)
