Share pictures of your Christmas table
I love setting the table and doing the flowers for all occasions, but especially for Christmas Eve. I do it (without flowers) several days ahead of time so I can enjoy it. Did the flowers yesterday (slim pickings everywhere this year - don't know why!). Yes, I set a very elaborate traditional table. I'm lucky to have done lovely things so why not use them and enjoy themselves? My daughter feels the same way - her table last night for our Christmas night dinner (son leaving at noon Christmas Day so we did it early), was so beautiful.
So, here it is before being used in a few hours!

Comments (43)Thought I had started my above response with today's find, but see I didn't. It must have been on my other board. Today I went to a town about 20 minutes away with my sister. She was looking for a pair of winter boots that she had seen there. We stopped in a Walgreens to look. We don't have a Walgreens, but one is being built a few miles away in our sister city. Anyway today I found two 6 foot lighted trees in urns for $10 each at Walgreens. They were originally $39.99! I was really excited. They had three more and I really wish that I would have bought at least one more. The two I got are for the outside of the house in the front. We will be screening our covered back porch in soon and I should have gotten one for out there and I think that I might like the look of one in my entry. The size would be good for it. Oh well, at least I got the two....See MoreOur Christmas card photo this year, want to share yours?
Comments (43)oh my bestyears, I can't believe how calm your (very attractive) children look next to the maniacal looking cat. I'm afraid of being scratched just looking at that picture. Thank you to everyone for sharing your cards, there are so many wonderful photos of kids & animals. I probably mentioned this before but my sister received a photo card from her friends, just the adults and not the kids or pets. They wrote something clever about how everybody has cute kids and pets but how are the adults holding up? It was funny and pretty bold, since after a certain age many of us aren't willing to share photos of greying, aging selves with old high school friends....See MoreCare to share your Christmas card photo?
Comments (20)I have already posted this on another forum but here's our card for this year. Amos and Andi are 5 years old and are brother and sister Minilabradoodles. Asher - my GS is 29 months. Amos and Andi learned "place" at puppy school and I used it the first year to get a good picture. Every year since when I pull out their jinglecollars, they run and place for me. Asher was the one I had trouble getting to stay still - about 40 pictures and this was the only one that was "almost" perfect....See MoreShare your Christmas decor and your pet(s)
Comments (69)No, but I think we used too much water to start with. My husband, genius that he might be, went dense when he decided that the hose would be quicker than a spray bottle. Winded up soaking the tree even with the mist attachment on. When we went to flock, the tree was soaked but we still misted the flock to activate it. Next day, the tree was still wet. Think it took a week to dry. But, between the ornaments and flock, it's bent out of shape. Here's two pics I just took. It's been flocked since 12/3....See More
9 years agoBefore dinner in the library last year with my Mom and Aunt. I really do need to get some decent dining chairs! Didn't plan anything this year. Brother and family hosted dinner at noon today, my other Aunt invited me to her home tomorrow.

9 years agoLove the tables and settings above. Schoolhouse, I want your windows!
I have a casual lifestyle. I plan to set the food on the dining table and have people eat in the living room. So this is where we'll be "dining" this evening. :-)

9 years agoNo fancy setting... but I am very happy with what I served for myself. :)
boneless turkey roast, tators, gravy and buttered mixed veggies
all gone... and the bonus of living alone, you can lick the plate... :)
leftovers for 5 days... but only one with veggies. My freezer is full.
Merry Christmas!

This pic is a few days before Christmas. I had a bunch of silver and gold floral pics and a vision in my head for a centerpiece but, as usual, it didn't come out like I had envisioned. So googled "easy Christmas centerpieces" and found a version of this. I had everything on hand except the gold and silver wrapping paper(the middle box is wrapped in gold). The stars on the candles are gift tags. Easy peasy! I had planned to tuck in some fresh greens Christmas Eve but it rained and everything was too wet.
