'Twas the Night Before Christmas Table

Pat's inspiration for this week's table was taken from Clement Clark Moore's immortal poem "The Visit" or more commonly known as "Twas the Night Before Christmas."

Bright and cheery, this table captures the spirit of a fun Christmas

Ceramic handled "Primary" flatware is by Noritake

We found these dishes on the sale shelf at Pier 1 two years ago



Pat used two "elves" for the centerpiece

This is Walter, one of Santa's older elves, reading "Twas the Night Before Christmas"

Old books covered in brown wrapping paper raised the trees slightly
