Top tips

Feel free to mix and match holiday components to create your own personal design. Since shopping time is of the essence, use items from around the home that you already have. Keep it simple. Examples include filling a bowl with colorful ornaments and using it as your holiday centerpiece. Or using glass drinking tumblers to display colorful candy canes and assorted chocolates to be used as décor and dessert!

The reason for the season:

The Christmas season is about celebrating the birth of the Christ Child. In addition to going to church, many families honor the day by gathering with family and friends, exchanging gifts, and sharing a special meal together. Why not take the time to make your Christmas table a little extra special this year? It can be easily done by creating a lovely Christmas tablescape in the theme of your choice to enhance and elevate the experience!
