Beautifully laid tables bring a sense of home, warmth and emotion to Christmas Dinner. The atmosphere is magical this time of year. Happy people will be home! Sounds of Christmas music fill the air, Christmas Trees, wreaths and garland are a spectacular sight, as well as presents under the Christmas tree! The temperature here in Colorado is brrr…cold and snowing.
I thought you may like a checklist for Christmas dinner. Putting up the holiday decor coupled with your usual day-to-day routine will keep you running from here to there. I have included some links if you tap the pictures. These ideas may help you get set up this holiday season. BONUS, without ever leaving home. Point, click and order. I have done all the sorting for you.
Putting your own style on the holiday this year? Of course you could respect time honored traditions with your decor and menu or you could add your own special touch to the menu and create your own traditions!
One of my favorite traditions is to pop open the Christmas crackers just before we eat Christmas dinner. While seated and gathered around the table we pop them open. Inside the cracker is a paper crown which adorns everyone’s head. While we dine some of the conversation lends an ear to the little gift inside the cracker. Silly light hearted jokes can be found in the cracker which gets the conversation rolling!
Wishing you a beautiful home and holiday this and every Christmas!
XOXO-
