Holidays are my absolute favorite time of the year and decorating my dining table to fit the theme is what I live for each year. Although COVID threw a wrench in my plans for a festive gathering with friends and family, I will keep it super small and host my sister and her family on Christmas Eve. Below are direct links to how you can dress up your table like mine. Bonus - most of the items are reasonably priced.

“Christmas isn’t a season. It’s a feeling. ”

— Edna Ferber

When planning my table setting, I always start off with the centerpiece. I set out to find fresh pine branches and cinnamon scented pine cones to add the christmasy sent and instantly put you in a festive mood. Both pine cones and pine branches were found at my local Wholefoods Market. I placed the pine cones in hurricane vases with sticks of pussy willows to give it a whimsical feel.

Adding a dose of color is a must, therefore, I incorporated a faux rosehip stem and faux iced berry magnolia leaves to add my centerpiece.
