Holiday Cheermeister Table

Welcome to our home!

Although we still have Thanksgiving 

decorations up, we have a special event 

that takes place around mid-November 

and that is our 

Holiday Cheermeister Event.  

This year we are holding the event at home.

Some years it is held at a restaurant, 

some years at home, but we started this 

once all of our children became adults.

We send out invitations to the event to 

our children, and at the event we give 

them their Christmas money.  We try to make 

it a fun time, whether at home or out.  

The kids then have until December 15th 

to shop and deliver their gifts to us to wrap.

We always include some surprises, but 

often by December 25th, they have forgotten 

some of the things they got for themselves.  

This ensures they get what they want without 

us guessing, and they know what the children 

have and need.

The little ones really appreciate the decor.  It is 

so fun to see them run through the house to 

see everything.

The only places that are decorated this year for the 

Cheermeister Event are the entry

and the kitchen.  The kitchen won't stay this way,

but it makes it fun and sets the party atmosphere.

I saved the garlands from a party I did a couple 

of years ago, so setting everything up was easy.

My Hot Cocoa Bar stays up all season, 

and long into winter.  The ingredients may change 

throughout the season.

My Patience Brewster table fits right in 

with the Grinch decor with its bright greens 

and reds, and we have had it for years and it 

has stood up to a lot of little ones making hot cocoa. 

Have you seen these GINORMOUS marshmallows

covered with chocolate and candy cane, and the 

white ones with sparkle sugar?  I found them at 

Target this year and can't wait to surprise 

everyone with them.  

I have used this styrofoam stand over and over 

to fill with cake pops or candy canes and suckers.  

They will love this too!  There is something 

magical about large suckers.

I placed the Patience Brewster High Heel 

table at the end of the counter this year.

The placesettings on the counter mix the fun

reds and greens in strips and dots to go 

along with Grinch's Holida Cheermeister.

I layered bright green chargers from Hobby Lobby,

red and white scalloped dinner plates from Home Goods 

a few years ago, and candy cane plates and polka 

dot plates purchased years and years ago from Wal Mart. 

The fun flatware was purchased in Italy a few years ago.

I love this shot down the curve of the counter.  

With our large crowd we set multiple tables and 

little ones often sit at the counter.

The fun bubble at the bottom of my ruby 

stemware that were custom made in Cabo, 

also seem Grinch-like.

I have the original Department 56 Grinch houses,

which I think are so beautiful compared to their 

more recent versions.  This is

Cindy Lou's house.

And of course, the Grinch will be here to hand out 

the holiday cheer.

And maybe even Cindy Lou Who too!
