Setting the table for Christmas dinner is an important subject in our family. With our Christmas table decorations, there's just one element that remains the same each year, just because it makes the table look so very elegant. We start with a red damask tablecloth, on top of which is laid a fine gold lace tablecloth. Now, you'd think this would be a very pricey item, but it is in fact, not. I found some gold lace yardage at a fabric shop, years ago, that was just the right width for our dining table, with a foot or so overhanging the edge of the table. It's just a lovely beginning to our Christmas table decorations. However, what decorates the table after this underpinning, does change the entire look of the table each year. Here, we've got several ways to make your Christmas table look stunning.

Crafts stores carry lots of faux greenery, which can be tied together with wire and ribbons (some of the wired ribbons add beautiful sparkle). Naturally, you can also use real greens if you wish. Depending on the shape of your dining table, you can fashion the greens into whatever shape looks best and accommodates your place settings. In the center of your 'wreath', a few tall, fat candles completes the picture. You can also place figurines, pine cones, tiny ornaments or flowers so that everyone has a sumptuous view in front of their place.

A Nativity scene, placed on top of a beveled mirror, then sprinkled with a little faux snow (you can find this at any dime store or crafts shop) makes a lovely centerpiece. Round out this centerpiece with votive candles placed around the mirror for one of the most beautiful of Christmas table decorations you'll find.

Another of our best Christmas table decorations ideas: lay out a table runner, in a color that complements your table cloth, down the center of the table with small, individual faux trees, decorated with tiny gold ornaments, in front of each place setting. Elegant!

A woven rattan sleigh, filled with silk roses, makes a terrific centerpiece. With several votive candles 'garnishing' the length of your table on each side of the sleigh, you'll have a festive table setting indeed. You might also fill each candle holder with small sprays of dyed flowers (crafts shops have these in an abundance of colors and flower types) for an equally cheery display.

With each of these Christmas table decorations, you can further enhance your table setting with a string of Christmas lights, plugged in to an extension cord, strategically placed such that the cord doesn't pose a danger to a guest getting up or down from the table. Yes, it can be done.

Your Christmas table decorations add so much to the ambience of this happy occasion. Merry Christmas!
