Shabby Chic Christmas Eve


One of my most exciting times of Christmas 
is setting the table for our formal 
Christmas Eve Dinner.

This gorgeous shabby chic horse was a new 
find this year, and he sets the tone for our table. 


These shabby chic candlesticks are ones we have 
had for years.  They look great with our horse. 


We always put on the fancy plates and flatware 
for our dinner.  This year everything is in silver and white. 


I bought this silverplate flatware from 
Horchow years ago, and wish they still 
sold it.  


We will have 20 for dinner this year, 
that includes three high chairs. 



We always set up in "the Great Hall", 
so we can sit together.  Just a few minutes 
of clearing out other furniture and the 
great room is perfect for seating a lot of 
people. 


My husband just loves all of the Christmas decor.  
Everyone that comes over, he asks them to come in 
and see everything.  That is so sweet of him. 


I added some greens and some white roses 
to the table for a little color. 



The best is when the children, especially the 
grandchildren, are so appreciative. 


What a year, culminating with hope by being 
able to see The Bethlehem Star.  May you feel the 
love and joy of Christ's birth in your heart 
year round.

Stay healthy and well!
