I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and got LOTS of Christmas love (and gifts too, of course)!! We hosted Christmas Eve here at the new house so I wanted to share our table with you. Of course the best present I got was the PRESENCE of our son and my sister!!!! I wanted to use my tartan tablecloth but couldn't find it. Of course AFTER the table was done I found it but wasn't about to take it all apart. So, I used a red cloth, a gold charger, my Lenox Ribbons dishes and a package at each place setting.At least the napkins were my plaid ones:)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8e4gyAGsVFhPCupwlMcWIufjHObRu9WFKuvybsnmZbm-MRd5ALVWqBZSKvHwagjDbZaEqAhI5Bh87BHLGIKEpcjlx4-_MpBObbgUq_2rZ5bmRtBmhvH3mGWaa9hqD3SdRefmZimxAhQ/s1600/Christmas+Eve+Dinner+Table+2012+002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjr8e4gyAGsVFhPCupwlMcWIufjHObRu9WFKuvybsnmZbm-MRd5ALVWqBZSKvHwagjDbZaEqAhI5Bh87BHLGIKEpcjlx4-_MpBObbgUq_2rZ5bmRtBmhvH3mGWaa9hqD3SdRefmZimxAhQ/s640/Christmas+Eve+Dinner+Table+2012+002.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I made the centerpieces several years ago. They are a good height for conversation at the table. I got down to take the picture so you could see the container. Here is a little tutorial for those of you that might want to try something similiar. The deer are actually ornaments and after gluing the foam into the container I put glue on the back legs of the deer and pushed that into the foam in the center of the arrangeent. Then simply add Christmas picks and greens, pinecones or whatever you want around the edge. TA DA, simple but pretty arrangements!!! I used stems of greens and cut each piece apart. I also have a "pick machine" that adds a metal pick to whatever you have (a little florist secret).:)<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMMQ80FF3cO-d4Q9oawSsszw_U2MraO8OfATmkhhA79TtfBhl6T8OSLGvkOc3KGa9MaUggD4_BlIZv9h8TbusnGQUB4E9kzuvPOp_MdOSGFG21EN5D1XOaJmLh8-Q7EmqfrJ5xCZKCMJc/s1600/Christmas+Eve+Dinner+Table+2012+004.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiMMQ80FF3cO-d4Q9oawSsszw_U2MraO8OfATmkhhA79TtfBhl6T8OSLGvkOc3KGa9MaUggD4_BlIZv9h8TbusnGQUB4E9kzuvPOp_MdOSGFG21EN5D1XOaJmLh8-Q7EmqfrJ5xCZKCMJc/s640/Christmas+Eve+Dinner+Table+2012+004.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTmSURcH4kI84u6L7bPIaMAR8mRxRTpNBCtiR79n9CO-OnwF5nrfjFtIF-K-aiAn11UlbehIDvuPNKT2iRL1IjIhNHqEgR8WYYRW_Uf_-yj2BLaKkBMHJmJ5HESRwws6uqyOA_6ZuTz-c/s1600/Christmas+Eve+Dinner+Table+2012+006.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTmSURcH4kI84u6L7bPIaMAR8mRxRTpNBCtiR79n9CO-OnwF5nrfjFtIF-K-aiAn11UlbehIDvuPNKT2iRL1IjIhNHqEgR8WYYRW_Uf_-yj2BLaKkBMHJmJ5HESRwws6uqyOA_6ZuTz-c/s640/Christmas+Eve+Dinner+Table+2012+006.JPG" width="640" /></a></div> I used my matching Lenox wine glasses and my red water goblets.
