I do believe that your party has to be the most lively, especially with all the music and decorating and baking and general hubbub that is taking place. I would love to see all the decorations and all the bears. I haven't see too many koalas at the tea parties I have been to so the International flavor is appreciated. Thank you for participating and writing this lovely peek into your Christmas Tea!

Thank you for stopping by, Ginger! We were very happy to have you, and Grandmere says she hopes you will host another event very soon -- it's the most fun she's had since she left Australia! We hope you enjoyed yourself, too, and we loved the other blog tea parties -- a truly splendid occasion. Thank you so much for organizing such a wonderful tea party. All the toys in this household are VERY grateful.

We were very happy to have you, Raewyn, and thought that your Christmas cakes and honey-filled cakes were not only delicious, but extraordinarly beautiful. No wonder your bears look so happy and cute! They are very well fed and well cared for. The koalas were thrilled, too, that someone from home came to their party! Thank you for coming, and for inviting us to your Christmas Tea too!

The platypuses really worked very hard in the kitchen. If one of them hadn't taken the camera swimming in the pool last summer, I might have been able to get some good photos of them in their little aprons and chef hats!

Merry Christmas, Kelly, and thank you for coming! All the toys hope you had a good time at their tea party -- it was their first one, and they were very nervous.
