Wow! The overall setup is simple and classy. :) I didn’t know that thing about lighting candles for a minute or so first. Looking forward to your holiday menu post. :)

Upon reading this article and very descriptive settings being accomplished I was going to comment on how the MM household is like the Downton Abbey of the Philippines. Note the uniforms worn by the crew. “bakerwannabe” above got it right. Happy Holidays MM!

Amazing. Your annual holiday dinners really do seem like massive productions, which I’m sure all your guests enjoy fully.

I have never hosted a home dinner with service a la russe, and I probably never will. It’s very nice to do it vicariously through your blog. :)

Where was Carson? I can imagine Carson with his gloved had inspecting the set up and sliding his fingers on some furnitures to check on dusts and finger stains on the crystals. Such a lovely set up you have. Guests would feel comfortable and yet appreciate all the details that went into it.

I smiled at the photo of your two staff ironing the table cloth on the table. Cool!
