Christmas at parents 2023
Christmas at my parents’ house is one of those traditions I hope never changes. Their home — a beautiful historic place here in Neenah — always looks its best this time of year, and the dining room is the heart of it all.
Here it is on Christmas Eve 2023, the table set and ready: white plates on poinsettia placemats, the good glassware, candles waiting to be lit, and that gorgeous stained-glass chandelier glowing overhead. Through the archway you can see the tree all lit up in the front room, with the original dark woodwork and built-in cabinets soaking up the warm light.
It’s the kind of room that makes you want to slow down, sit a while, and go back for a second helping. Merry Christmas from Neenah.
