Tea With Friends

During our busyness on Christmas Eve, we had a

special visitor. “The Mistletoe Tester”  (aka Derald)

stopped in to visit us and his cute wife, Shirley. 

 Shirley has been employed for me since the

 tea room opened. She prepares the delicious food

 we serve to our guests.  She also has a beautiful

 voice and sings to our guests. We love you

Shirley & Derald! 

Our guests were delighted during tea time yesterday as Brianna

serenaded them with Christmas songs.  I was especially touched

as she sang “O Holy Night.”  We love having Brianna and her

 mom, Susan, visit us at Camellia Rose.  We look forward to

having her sing for us in the future. We are blessed!

We have met so many wonderful people through our

tea room and some have become special friends.  Today

our friends from Walt Disney’s Grand Floridian Tea Room

were here for tea.  Dotty and Pat are not only our regular

guests but Camellia Rose friends!  They are a blessing to us.

We will see you again soon ladies!  Merry Christmas!

“MERRY CHRISTMAS!”

I just love saying that to everyone this time of year.

We have been celebrating Christmas everyday with our

guests.  From the beautiful Christmas lights and

decor, Christmas music we play all day long, our

delicious food, which includes the cutest little

Christmas mice and scrumptious beef tenderloin,

and of course the many delicious teas. But more

importantly we are celebrating the birth of our

Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.  Yesterday our guests

were reminded of the true JOY of Christmas during

our  mystery tea party.  Then we had an old fashion

Christmas celebration with carolers singing our

favorite Christmas carols.  It is hard to believe Christmas

is almost here.  I want to invite you to discover the JOY

we are celebrating at Camellia Rose.  Please stop in so

we can wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS personally!

JOY IN CHRIST,

Ellen

The Plant City Community Choir sang Christmas Songs

 to our guests last week.  We look forward to hearing

 them again on Dec. 12 during the Plant City Christmas Stroll.

We hope you can join us.
