Getting Ready for Christmas Tablescape

Welcome to my favorite time of the year - I love Christmas. No, we don't get much snow, if any, and yes, it mostly rains (which is good after years of severe drought) and roads close which means nothing in or out of the county for days or weeks, but it's still Christmas....time to decorate and celebrate.

Pat set this week's table with accent/salad dishes we found last year at Pier 1.

The place setting starts with two square place mats offset to show the red trim

Flatware is "Primary" by Noritake

Pat used a "Scarlet" Fiesta(ware) Chop Plate by Homer Laughlin for the charger

The simple centerpiece consists of a small decorated Christmas tree surrounded by packages and a jolly Santa

One last look from the other end of the table
