~~~Our Christmas Table~~~

Happy day after Christmas! I wanted to share our Christmas table with you. I decided to do a little different setting this year and I LOVED it! I used my favorite plaid tablecloth with red chargers and my Lenox Ribbons dinnerware. I made these 2 arrangements. They are in a gold container with greens, pinecones, berries and a dancing reindeer in the center!
 Here is a shot down the table.

 I placed a gift box at each place setting. Here is the red one,
 red and gold,
 and green with a red bow.

 I had started out with the 2 gold deer on the table but then remembered the arrangements and poinsetta candle holders.
 Here is a close up of the dishes. I really love this pattern, it is simple but elegant! I love the ribbons and berries on the dishes.
 I also got out the "gold" flatware for this special occasion! The napkins are embroidered with a stocking filled with goodies.
 There is a tree tealight holder at each place too.
 My Lenox wine dishes and red water goblets.
 This is the water pitcher.
 and the cream and sugar.


 It even has a matching S and P on a wooden stand.
 I found these candle holders at Home Goods in the Fall and knew I wanted then for the table. I love the poinsetta on them and the crackled glass! Also the twisted stem.


 Since I only have 8 of the goldware and the napkins I used plaid napkins and red flatware at the ends of the table.

 We set up a card table to put the food on and serve. Our dining room gets very crowded so it is easier to serve, especially since we had 2 big pans of LASAGNA!!!!
 The hot pads are ready for the dishes to come out of the oven.
 The candles are lit, let's eat!
 It was yummy if I do say so myself:):)

I hope you all had a wonderful day yesterday. I hope the new year brings joy, love and peace to each and every one of you. I think you again for being my loyal and supportive followers, I love you guys!!! I will be joining these parties:

  28. Your table is beautifully put together. Brilliant idea, the end of table coordinating settings.

    Your lasagna looks delicious, and lucky you that your husband doesn't drench it in hot sauce. He likes it on just about everything. I used to find it insulting, but now I mostly just let it go...

    Sigh.

I've been looking online but haven't been able to find it. Again, perfection! Kaille
