Christmas Table Setting - Christmas Gift

A table set in brown and gold
Brown to symbolise humble beginnings. 
Gold for the splendor that these beginnings represent.




Cup doilies and place mats my mother made as a gift for us.


Set with a gold charger and brown plates .


And topped with better homes and gardens bowls. A gift from my Grandmother. They remind me of holly right now but, can also be used in the summer.





Napkins in the glasses with a real holly leaf.
I set out the matching  brown mugs as I am serving hot cider with the meal. (Coffee cups are generally reserved till the end of the meal.)



A star to shine the way.



The light of Christmas.



Holly berries and leaves to decorate the candle holder.

Your table is perfect and what a wonderful theme. The nativity in the center is just precious.
Merry Christmas!

Your table is so pretty. I love your dishes, and I love the way you used the manger scene. Really pretty.

Hi Jessa! Just passing quickly through the tablescapes on this Christmas Eve morning, before I start my own busy day today! Your table is one of my favorites, and I just HAVE to stop to give credit to whom I think it is due! LOVE your theme, but I most especially appreciated your mother's placemats and cup coasters. I crochet, so I know the time and love that go into such things! I don't care where anyone else bought theirs.. Yours are the prettiest ones I saw today! Merry Christmas to you and yours! ~tina
