I’m Dreaming of a White Christmas

Red and green may be the traditional colors of Christmas, but why not try something different?  Blue and white are perfect for a Hanukkah meal or New Year’s Eve late night dinner as well as Christmas brunch.

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas right at my table.

This would be a fun setting at a Hanukka table.

Start with at pale blue snow flake table cloth.  Add snowflake dinner plates and a salad plate or soup bowl in a coordinating pattern.

Keep the monochromatic scheme going with blue glasses.

LEt your guests take home the snowflake and little ornament as a memento.

The napkin is an ikat design tied with a snowflake and little ornament.  I love to incorporate little gifts for my guests at the table.  They can take them home as a remembrance of a lovely time.

Or you can set the napkin on the plate for a different look.

The centerpiece has white pine and poinsettias, but giant snowflakes or paper whites would work too.  Just stick with blue and white.  A sparkly garland looks just as festive on the table as it would on a tree.

An all white centerpiece keeps the monochromatic color theme going

Enjoy your holiday by sharing your time, your table and a meal with family and friends.  It doesn’t get any better than that!

    I like that..I feel frosty and toasty all at the same time.
    I am very happy to see you displaying other colors, for in so many spaces…the traditional red and green just seems a bit out of place!

    Merry Christmas to you 🙂

    Hey wait a minute- I thought I WAS THE CHRISTMAS QUEEN-my family calls me Mrs. Claus. I guess you can be the mid west Christmas Queen and I’ll take the Northwest. I love all your ideas and miss your smiling face. Hi to everyone.
