Every year on Christmas Eve, our family hosts a prime rib dinner.  It’s the one time each year we get all fancy. 

      I usually use these Christmas dishes.  I bought these at Walmart eight years ago.  I have some other Christmas dishes I will feature tomorrow when I set my Christmas breakfast table.

      I have added a few things this year.  I was lucky enough to find these Mikasa, crystal, candlestick holders at my local thrift store for only two dollars each.  I bought the cream-colored napkins at Home Goods this summer.  They are so wonderfully versatile, I use them all the time.  I made the tree used as the centerpiece.

      Remember the Christmas project I wanted to create but was having a lot of trouble getting it to turn out the way I wanted?  Well, this is not it.  I tried and tried to get that to work but it would not.  My husband came up with a great idea that would work today.  Too late to try this year but maybe next year.  Anyway, back to this tree.  It is a bit like my original idea but uses much lass negative space.  This is a yarn Christmas tree.  I will share a tutorial with you soon.

      And last but not least I used some pillow cases and tulle to “fancy-up” our dining room chairs.  I had our little ones at the table so I wanted a “fancy” that was worry free and cheap.  I wanted to spend money on presents not the table!   Merry Christmas!
