    simple last minute Christmas table setting

    If you're anything like me, you'll have found Christmas really snuck up on you this year.

    Christmas ornaments on the table make a perfect last minute table setting

    While I'm still scrambling to finish my shopping, wrap the gifts and check all the items off our Christmas bucket list, I haven't given much thought to decorating my dining table for our Christmas meal.

    Quick and easy Christmas table decorations

    That is, until yesterday when I was putting the last of the ornament bins back into storage (until they come out again in a couple of weeks to undecorate the house!), and I plopped a bunch of ornaments on the table as I was rearranging a few things.

    How Do You Decorate a Christmas Table?

    Decorating a Christmas table doesn't have to be expensive or require you to be an expert decorator. Pick a color scheme, and using some simple greenery (real or faux) and tree ornaments, lay them down the center of your table like a runner. Intersperse votive candles for extra effect.

    This simple centerpiece is not only beautiful and festive but can easily be put together in less than 10 minutes!

    If you don't have a bunch of spare ornaments, dollar store ones are perfect and they also sell similar votives! Grab some greenery from your yard and call it a day!

    Have a few extras? Use them as place settings on top of each plate or bowl. If you're picky about them moving around, a little bit of frosting on the bottom keeps them in place and is food safe :-)

    Unfortunately, I no longer have the time to answer personalized paint color questions. If you leave a comment asking for personalized advice, it will not be answered. Sorry!
