Setting a Simple Holiday Table

Living a Simple Life with a Back Porch View

Setting a Holiday table is often a work of art. In fact, we often gaze longingly at the beautiful table settings in magazines. Fine China. Sparkling crystal. Sterling silver polished to a high gleam. The centerpiece is perfection, and the touch of greenery stretching across the center from end to end just adds that glamorous touch.

And as you picture your own table looking that perfect, your mind’s eye catches that priceless crystal as it tilts over from an elbow and shatters. Uncle Dan tells his wild stories with a big sweep of his hands, which catches on the greenery and pulls it off the table. And Grandma’s shaky hand drops mashed potatoes all over the centerpiece. And that doesn’t count the food stains on the pristine white tablecloth. You wonder if you even have enough stain remover on hand to get them all out.

Rather than be faced with a bigger than normal clean up, use what you have on hand and your own personality to create the best holiday table settings. Your meals may just be even more fun, and you won’t be picking glass shards out of the food.
