After a long day (week, month, year) of shopping for the perfect gifts, it’s easy to lose steam on the Christmas table settings. Especially if the weather outside is frightful. Well, you may not be Mrs. Claus or Martha Stewart. Probably you can’t be budged out your door to buy gravy urns or centerpieces, but that doesn’t mean you can’t set an impressive table for the holiday dinner. Multiple times, if necessary. I’m in the same trouble, and I’ve scrounged up a bag of tricks to turn your everyday tableware into Christmas table decorations. Read on, and fear not.
Cute Peppermint Christmas Dishes
My mom’s table setting ideas always work around fancy goblets and Christmas dishes. Nothing wrong with that, if you have them. You don’t store those Santa bowls or candy plates all year for nothing. If you do.
Elegant Christmas Dinnerware in Christmas Magazine
Those of us with small apartments or clutter phobias may not be blessed with rotating sets of dishes. No worries. Dishes don’t have to be made for Christmas to look festive. These basic china plates get a new look from the trees and wreaths around them.
Green Christmas Table Setting
Bring out the colors in your dishes with your other holiday decorations, and those bright green bowls will suddenly fit in.
Modern Christmas Table Setting
Modern stylistas know that the cleaner the palette, the more small touches like these red napkins stand out.
Elegant Christmas Table Linens
For more traditional Christmas elegance, really amp up those linens. ‘Tis the season to pull out Christmas table runners and holiday tablecloths if you have them.
Table Setting Featuring Tablecloth and Christmas Linens
But any nice scarf or piece of fabric will do. A single Christmas napkin in a roll basket makes a plain color tablecloth seem Christmas-y, too.

Festive Holiday Glass Containers
If you haven’t been saving up your green bottles and aren’t in for a short bender, plain clear glass can give you a similar holiday look. I know you have bottles, jars, cups, or candleholders there someplace. Find ‘em and fill ‘em them with ornaments, pinecones, or even cranberries. Bing, bang, Christmas centerpiece.
DIY Pinecone Holiday Centerpieces
Liked the pinecone idea? Add some glitter stars and stack them in candleholders.
Country Home Floral Table Setting Ideas
Use the cake stand you never pull out to hold Christmas ornaments, or decorate with flowers.
Candy Cane Christmas Decorations
If you really don’t even have vases, there’s a glue gun fix for that. But you’ll have to sacrifice some candy for it (not chocolate-it melts).
Inspired Room Holiday Napkin Place Setting
One more way to make an ordinary table go holiday is with personalized place settings. You can avoid the name card and seating chart fiasco, but dress each one up with napkins and little pretty things.
Good Housekeeping Bow Table Setting Ideas
Big bows make Christmas place settings look as good as presents, a good way to deal with those non-traditional holiday dishes.
Holiday Chair Covers
Don’t limit Christmas table decorations ideas to the table. Chairs need love, too, especially when you’re going to put your extra holiday weight on them. These chair covers set an impression from a long way off, so your guests will already be in a holiday mood.
Christmas Dinner Candles
Of course, don’t overlook the holiday magic candles make. In the glow, it doesn’t matter much what the rest your table looks like.

CHRISTmas has been hijacked by our clrutue, and for the most part, the church doesn’t seem to mind. A Christian should feel as uncomfortable around CHRISTmas as a Jewish person does, or used to feel. Every year around this time many Jews perhaps feel out place and alienated as their friends, co-workers, and neighbors celebrate the birth of the Messiah that they rejected. However, since CHRISTmas has been sanitized of Christ, and now consists of extreme commercialism, office parties, Santa Clause, and other secular celebrations, many Jews are beginning to feel more and more comfortable celebrating the Christless CHRISTmas. Let me ask you, how comfortable should Christians feel during this time? How many Christians get caught up in Black Friday and Cyber Monday? How many Christians put lights on their house, but don’t shine the Light of Christ? How many Christians can even make it church during this time? Should we not feel as out-of-place during this time as the Jews once did? Let me ask you, what does it matter if the town won’t put up a CHRISTmas tree or a manger scene? Instead, wouldn’t it be great if every Christian showed the Love of Christ during this time by ministering to someone, or told the Good News of forgiveness of sins through Christ? How about if every Christian put a manger scene on their front lawn, then we wouldn’t have to worry about how our secular world celbrates the greatest thing that has ever happened in this world ? For the most part Christians look to the secular world as to how we are going to celebrate CHRISTmas. The secular world needs to look to us. I say let’s stop the insanity and complaining and put Christ back into CHRISTmas ourselves. We don’t need the government’s permission to do that. Think with me for a minute what would happen if every Christian quit buying expensive presents for everyone during this time, and quit sending expensive cards that nobody wants anyhow, and stopped promoting Santa in their own homes, and drunkeness and partying? Instead Christians wouls celebtrate as I stated above by showing the Light and love of Jesus Christ. Do you know what we would have? We would have CHRISTmas that is God-honoring and Christ-centered. Christians should not complain about the secularization of CHRISTmas unless they are willing to make some changes themselves and begin to act like Christians.!One more thing, some say that we only say Happy Holidays during November and December because there are so many holidays during this time. Baloney! If that were true then why don’t we say it at New Year’s as well? New Years is closer to CHRISTmas than the other Holidays, but as soon as CHRISTmas is over we stop saying Happy Holidays. The phrase Happy Holidays has nothing to do with the number of holidays we celebrate, but has everything to do with a post-Christian clrutue that has marginalized Christianity and turned its back on the One True God Jesus Christ!

Well, Grinch. I can understand it. Personally, I’ve fehnsiid 99% of Christmas-related activities, so as to beat the mood switch that I ALWAYS go through around my birthday, that leads to Christmas sucking AND being half-done. I’m hopeful this year, just like every year, that it won’t happen. But for now, I’m preparing. Which means I need your address, please.Reply by on November 16th, 2010 at Tuesday, November 16, 2010 @ 7:40 am@Zoeyjane, that’s a good plan that way you don’t worry about the doldrums getting you down. When’s your birthday?Reply by Twitter: on November 16th, 2010 at Tuesday, November 16, 2010 @ 12:46 pm@Avitable, December 10th is my 30th. I’m actually REALLY looking forward to it.Reply by on November 16th, 2010 at Tuesday, November 16, 2010 @ 5:07 pm@Zoeyjane, too bad you’re not going to be in Vegas for it!Reply by Twitter: on November 16th, 2010 at Tuesday, November 16, 2010 @ 5:49 pm@Avitable, I’m one of those weirdos who has absolutely no interest in doing Vegas. In the usual sense, anyway.Reply by on November 17th, 2010 at Wednesday, November 17, 2010 @ 12:58 am@Zoeyjane, not even if all of us would be there? Reply by Twitter: on November 17th, 2010 at Wednesday, November 17, 2010 @ 1:09 am@Avitable, Nah. People always lose stuff in Vegas. Their money, their sobriety, the souls. I’d rather not witness that kind of concentrated debauchery.
Hi Sis! Just wanted to say hello and tell you what a pusleare it was to meet you and spend time with you this weekend. Can I just tell you how absolutely adorable I think you are?! I will forever cherish the memory of you sitting on the floor with us all in our pj’s as people laughed at us. I love that it didn’t phase you to be seen with us! ha.

Christmas has never really fotaled my boat, in particular. It will be exceptionally hard o Gia this year since her entire family is now in SC, but she will be seeing them a few days after Christmas and staying for New Year’s. Which, in turn, will be difficult for me because I have work commitments during that time and I won’t be able to go with her. Le sigh.I do love me some Thanksgiving though. That’s always a great celebration in my family. And we recently got some extra joyous news that the one family member that we don’t get along with (a sister-in-law) won’t be coming this year as she is hosting her own dinner. Sweet!Reply by on November 16th, 2010 at Tuesday, November 16, 2010 @ 12:30 pm@B.E. Earl, since I can’t eat that much, Thanksgiving doesn’t do it for me anymore, either.Reply by Twitter: on November 16th, 2010 at Tuesday, November 16, 2010 @ 4:03 pm@Avitable, I don’t really eat to excess on Thanksgiving. No more than any other holiday, really. It’s more about good beer, good wine, and good times with the extended family. Then we bust out the karaoke machine after dinner. Woot!
Please, I need The Truth about Pato (II). I havent got any nails on my ferigns because I’m very nervous to know all the truth about him!!Please, please, please, please, please, please, please thankkkkk you!

This is so weird in the timing.I don’t tereblace Christmas. I haven’t, in many years. I’m pagan with multiple partners, so I tend to spend holidays alone anyway (everyone else has family local or is far away as well.) Or throw a Thanksgiving dinner for all my friends who would otherwise be spending the holidays alone.Except this year I started dating someone who has small children. And I kinda think I wanna do something Christmassy. Not like baby Jesus Christmassy but like adopt a kid from the Salvation Army angel tree Christmassy. I used to do that all the time and I enjoyed it. Or like feed homeless people in the park Christmassy. OK and buy my boyfriend’s sons inappropriate presents with too many pieces and too much noise. *grin*Thanks for writing this!Oh and I would totally smooch you under the mistletoe.
Hey, Shabby Crap (that’s my new nickname for you)! You can post ndayay now. You have to show everyone everything you made the few things I got to see were just beautiful. You have to post the shrine remember, I left early to set up. I’m so psyched that it was FRANK (can you here me screaming). It was great hanging out in the airport with you.
