I was invited to a delightful Christmas Tea.

A place card for me at the table
It was a gathering of ladies to celebrate the holiday season. I met new friends, and enjoyed a wonderful afternoon of laughter and great conversation.

My new friends, Cynthia and Claudia
The celebration included a variety of teas and delicious refreshments.

We participated in a fun Pollyanna gift exchange.

The gifts I received (snowman candle holder and candles, and other goodies)
And, at the end of the event, everyone received empowering quotes to inspire and encourage us in the new year.

I received this Mandela quote.
Another reason to be grateful at the holidays -- the opportunity to be inspired by, and make new friends!

Me with hostess Gail Bennett and other tea attendees
Merry Christmas!
