Table settings become especially important at Christmas time, when the main meal, whether eaten at midday or in the evening, is central to the celebration.
It totally would make sense to take extra care of the table’s appearance, particularly if you consider the money you spend on this annual feast, not to mention the time and energy. It will add extra enjoyment to the meal, knowing that your Christmas table has been thoughtfully arranged.
Your table decorative setting should be versatile enough to last for at least several meals during the holiday period. This will allow you to prolong the sense of festivity and justify the money you paid for the table decorations. You don’t have to use everything for each meal, instead you can start building up the look of your table with every successive meal, beginning with Christmas Eve.
The festivities will get off on the right note, if you just lay your table with a tablecloth and matching napkins for a simple candlelit supper. Then for Christmas lunch or dinner, you can add a decorative runner, candles, napkins and an elaborate centerpiece, which will transform the table for the important occasion.
