I love silver plate, greens and moss in the platter under a SP bowl and shells with white for Christmas settings.

Here in Florida I plan on using similar with exchanging red for tropical colors and adding blues. Next year I will have different photos of my settings. This year not doing any decorating, can't access my xmas stuff.

The snowman table setting;

The Santa table used my Radko dishes I have collected for several years.

The other 3 tables were all set with dishes I have found at various TS's.

Magnificent! That luncheon must be so much fun to attend. Your group did a wonderful job with the settings.

Thanks Cara Rose and meldin, Merry Christmas!

Christmas Candy,
Oh how special the table-scapes are!
I love the gold with the green and white.
I'll bet the snowman table brings smiles to those sitting there! I like the blue in last year's snowman table too.
And you matched the snowman to the plates! How clever.
The Santa table is sweet with all the red, I like the candy-cane stripes too.

Wow! Such talent!

Candy, your tables are merry and bright. Love the green and gold table.

Meldin, the tartan motif is outstanding.

MR, so classicly elegant, as usual

We're not hosting Christmas Day this year, which is good: it gets me off the hook, so I don't have to wrack my brains to come up with a holiday-worthy tablescape.
