Do you set a fancy table for Christmas?\u00a0 I love to set a special table especially for holidays and hope by next Christmas will have a big farmhouse table in our dining room with enough seating for everyone!\u00a0 We will have a special table set for Christmas breakfast at home though with just our family.<\/p>\n

I thought I\u2019d share some last minute tips for setting a table using some things you probably already have on hand.\u00a0 Or if you are headed out to pick up some last minute gifts you could pick up a few things like the placecard holders to add to make your Christmas table special.<\/p>\n

I picked up those greenery wreaths out of the Target dollar spot section and knew they would make great accents on a table or I could use them as an actual wreath too.<\/p>\n

\"Red<\/p>\n

I also found these little placecard holder jars in the dollar spot and just fell in love with them \u2013 aren\u2019t they so adorable!\u00a0 $3 for a pack of 2 I thought was a great price too \u2013 not sure where I could even find the jars for that cheap.\u00a0 They had ones with mini gingerbread houses in them too and I hope to find some of those on after-Christmas clearance and I\u2019ll mix both kinds on a big table next year.<\/p>\n

I guess I don\u2019t have a Christmas table runner so that got added to the \u201cto find on after-Christmas clearance list\u201d too! \"Smile\"\u00a0 So for now, I just folded a tablecloth for a makeshift table runner, but you could use a blanket or even a scarf as a table runner.\u00a0 Then I grabbed some lanterns (actually off my Christmas mantel)<\/a> some red sweater wrapped candles from my stash (found at Walmart several years ago after Christmas), and 2 trees in tin buckets I actually just picked up on 66% Hobby Lobby Christmas clearance this week.<\/p>\n

\"Red<\/p>\n

Centerpieces can be simple collections of items or one or three main items\u2026. just use things you have!\u00a0 A strand of garland or some fresh greens with some candles or a lantern works too.<\/p>\n

I love my Christmas dishes \u2013 they are the Winterberry line from Pfaltzgraff.\u00a0 I got pieces as gifts every year for 4-5 Christmases when we first got married from different family members until I had a decent sized collection.\u00a0 I love pulling them out every year to use throughout December and for Christmas breakfast and dinner.<\/p>\n

Little Christmas touches in the kitchen make it seem so festive!\u00a0 You can see more of my Christmas coffee bar and hot cocoa station in this post.\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope however your table is set or if it\u2019s paper plates for the win (no judgment here, we do that sometimes too!) you have a blessed Christmas, eat too many Christmas treats \"Winking, and enjoy making memories together around the table!<\/p>\n
