  4. So pretty and peaceful. Thank you for sharing. Greens and berries tucked in here and there are my favorite decorations. One of my favorite things we have is a white birch log with holes drilled in it for candles. It sits on our buffet with pinecones surrounding it and a few old ornaments. The candles are lit each evening for dinner. Enjoy your holidays -- bet you and Peter can't wait for Hannah to show up!!
