Christmas Table Cheer With Trains, Trees, Candy Canes, & Plaid
A recipe for Christmas Cheer and how to dress and layer a Christmas table step-by-step!
A Christmas tree with all the trimmings on the stoneware plates and the iconic symbol of the season is the inspiration for the table.
Table elements include a red and green plaid, candy canes, a train, and tree shaped votive holder. Plaid equals Christmas cheer for me, so I used a coordinating pair of napkins in red and green checks and plaid, for double the cheer and plaid tidings! An assortment of pewter napkin rings coordinate with octagonal chargers.
Christmas stars and evergreen branches border the tree on Holiday Heritage plates, so I decked the table with boughs of Leyland cypress to rim the edges of the plates, along with some beaded garland that hangs on our tree for a little plate trimming!
If you have access to Leyland cypress, it’s an ideal evergreen to Deck the Halls or the table, since it won’t leave a sticky, sappy residue behind like cedar, pine or other evergreens.
I elevated the tree votive holder with a cake plate for some height for the table and added some candy canes.
I added train for a centerpiece to match the train under the tree on the dinnerware.
Sprigs of greenery and candy canes decorate the chimney of the train.
