Today's post is a guest post by Jennifer Tankersley of ListPlanIt.com I know you will enjoy all of these gorgeous ideas for how to festively decorate your holiday table!
While my family loves living in Maine, the decision to live here has taken us far from family. We most often celebrate Christmas with just the 5 members of our immediate family in our own home. We have come to love our Christmas Eve dinner tradition. We cook all day, but we always take some time to make the table look especially festive. My preference is for natural materials. My motto is, “Less is More.”
Here are some ideas from table linens to table settings, from chairs to chandeliers, for your dining pleasure this Christmas. Check out my Pinterest board called Christmas Table. Click on the links to see examples.
