One of my most exciting times of Christmas
is setting the table for our formal
Christmas Eve Dinner.
This gorgeous shabby chic horse was a new
find this year, and he sets the tone for our table.
These shabby chic candlesticks are ones we have
had for years. They look great with our horse.
We always put on the fancy plates and flatware
for our dinner. This year everything is in silver and white.
I bought this silverplate flatware from
Horchow years ago, and wish they still
sold it.
We will have 20 for dinner this year,
that includes three high chairs.
We always set up in "the Great Hall",
so we can sit together. Just a few minutes
of clearing out other furniture and the
great room is perfect for seating a lot of
people.
My husband just loves all of the Christmas decor.
Everyone that comes over, he asks them to come in
and see everything. That is so sweet of him.
I added some greens and some white roses
to the table for a little color.
The best is when the children, especially the
grandchildren, are so appreciative.
What a year, culminating with hope by being
able to see The Bethlehem Star. May you feel the
love and joy of Christ's birth in your heart
year round.
Stay healthy and well!
