The Christmas Table

As we approach the Christmas holiday, we start to think of how we are going to decorate the Christmas table for our holiday meal.

Well, as with all decorating, we have a lot of options.

A simple option is to use a nice glass or crystal bowl, toss in some pretty bulbs or round glitter ornaments, and voila! You have a pretty, festive centerpiece that was simple to create. Place a few candles, appropriately sized, around the bowl to add more sparkle.

To tie the rest of the table in with the bulb centerpiece, place a festive ribbon around the fabric napkins, and add two tiny bulbs to the end of the ribbon.

One could take the bulb theme a bit farther, and use bulbs or ornaments with flat bases as place holders. If you do not need place holders, you could also use the bulbs as a small gift. Place the bulb next to each plate. If used as a gift, add a family photo or gift card to the top where the placecard typically would be.

As always, get creative and have fun with it!
