  1. It sure helps you to get in the Christmas mood with all these beautiful pictures I try to keep my table with traditional Red Green and Gold but some years I have gone wild and tried other colors.

  4. the only problem with the table decorations is… where do you put all the food when it is time to eat?

  7. Thanks for the wonderful ideas! I wish HGTV would have more holiday craft shows than house hunting shows. There are so many creative people out there:) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

    • I totally agree Cheryl! More craft and decorating! The house hunting is way overdone! Nobody can afford to buy anyway. And the banks are barely lending. I like the shows especially International but would way rather see less of it and more budget decorating and not so much the high dollar decorating!

      Tami on December 19, 2010 at 4:03 PM
    • i agree with you, there are way TOO MANY House Hunting shows on hgtv and they are old. hgtv give us some new shows. i'm with tami.

  11. The decoration that you are preparing for Christmas is really nice and it is good to know that you have shared your precious and awful ideas over here so that we all can know about it and also can decorate our home as well. I must say that you have really great sense of decorating and that is why you have decorated each and everything so nicely.

  12. Love these table settings! Especially love seeing some non-traditional ideas with different colors and textures. Cool ways to incorporate candles as well. Thanks for the post.
