“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth”
John 1:14
December gives us many reasons to celebrate and parties to attend. But in our family, we celebrate more than Christmas in December…it is our son’s birthday! On Friday Seth will turn 30, and by now, you all know how much I love to celebrate birthdays! He is a low-key guy and would never want a big party, so we will keep it simple and have his favorites…home-made manicotti, mixed green salad, focaccia bread, and his cake of choice – red velvet! Let’s take a peek at the table already set for our dinner!
I love using the blue/white Christmas tree china and mix it with a few pops of red!
Seth made me a pair of antler candle stands last year and I thought they would be perfect for the tablescape!
*
Cute Fitz and Floyd nutcracker salt and pepper set!
* 
The snowmen salt and pepper set was given to me years ago by Seth, love it!
I used magnolia leaves cut from our tree to soften the burlap table runner! I always prefer using natural elements!
Katy gave me the deer place card holders last year that are actually ornaments…a very special gift!
Tartan plaid has been the rage the last couple of seasons!
* 
The napkin rings are ornaments, also! Much cheaper than purchasing the real ones!
“A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold
in a setting of silver”
Proverbs 25:11

Very clean, and It is cute !!
How beautiful your table is with the Christmas lighting in the background! Seth is one lucky guy to share his birth month with Jesus. I do love the antler candle holders Seth made for you. They are perfect with the place card holders, too! Thanks for sharing your Christmas birthday table! Happy birthday to Seth!
Kim, thanks so much and I will tell Seth you sent birthday wishes! Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Pretty, Pam! I’ll take blue and white anytime! I never tire of it. I like the Christmas tree pattern very much. Blue and white is everywhere in my house.
I like the red plaid with it too and, of course, I’m a nut about fresh greenery and any kind of fresh flowers. Wish they lasted longer and I had an endless supply. Your magnolia looks so healthy and the antlers are special since your son made them for your family. Sounds and looks like a great birthday dinner for your son. Happy Birthday to him. Menu wets my appetite.
Your room all aglow in the last pic has a lovely ambience.
Thank you always for the scriptures that truly do not return void. Blessings to you today.
Bonnie, I will tell Seth you sent birthday wishes! I am so glad I found this blue and white pattern a few years ago and I enjoy mixing different colors and textures! I love fresh pine and magnolia and of course, fresh flowers are always perfect! Wishing you a lovely Wednesday!
I love your table, Pam! Those blue and white Christmas dishes are lovely (I’m going to check out Replacements, etc. to see if they are still available!) You’ve created such a special space for your son’s birthday celebration. I love how you’ve incorporated items that he has given you in the past. Your menu sounds delicious and I know it’s going to be a special celebration! Thanks for sharing this….Rosie @ The Magic Hutch
Rosie, you are a sweetheart! I love sharing all the beautiful items that people have made for me, and of course, it is extra special when your son goes to the trouble to make you a gift! Hopefully Replacements has the blue and white pattern! Happy Wednesday!
I love the cute snowman and the rest of the table is just beautiful.
I have enjoyed the little snowmen and thanks so much! Wishing you a lovely Wednesday!
Where did you find those beautiful blue and white Christmas tree plates. Love them. Everything looks so bautiful. merry Christmas
I found the blue and white china at Tuesday Morning several years ago! I love using it! Merry Christmas!

Friday is my birthday too Pam! It’s crazy how many people I know with a Dec 11 birthday! I know I would be thrilled with manicotti and red velvet cake at your beautiful table! How unusual those blue and white Christmas plates are! Enjoy!
Jenna
Jenna, happy birthday!! Will you have a quiet or big celebration for your special day and will it be at the beach? Blessings, Pam
Oh my Pam, just lovely!!! Who wouldn’t love a party sitting at that table. I know your son will have a great time!!! Have a great birthday celebration. Be blessed!
Patty, thanks so much! We love celebrating birthdays and making them special! Happy Wednesday!
So beautiful,Pam. As you know, blue and white is my favorite, so I love these dishes! Happy birthday to sweet Seth! It is amazing that he is 3o and Tara is 40. That means you and I are not young any longer?
Patti, I love this blue/white set and I will bequeath them to you! (Haha). I can’t believe where the time has gone, we are not young anymore! We find out what we are having today! So excited, will let you know! I think boy, Butch says girl! One of us will be correct!❤️
Hi Pam, what a gorgeous Christmas Tablescape! I don’t think I’ve seen the lighter blue Christmas Transferware before, it’s perfect with the Red Plaid…and your Reindeer and Magnolia leaves! thanks so much for coming to the party!
Debra, thanks so much and for hosting the link party! So much fun to see all the festive posts!
The blue and red is perfect together. Lovely tablescape!
Aw, thanks so much! Just love tablescaping! Blessings, Pam
Love, love the blue and white china. I saw this pattern featured on a tablescape in a Christmas magazine recently. I am so drawn to blue and white.
Judy, thanks so much! I saw the magazine and I believe it was a Hoffman publication! It was the first time that I had seen the pattern in a magazine!
I love every inch of your table! Sheila
Thanks sweet Sheila!
Your table is absolutely gorgeous…..adore those blue and white Christmas plates!
A wonderful and beautiful Christmas table. Your place-settings are so lovely and your centerpieces are absolutely charming.
Thanks, Valerie!
I love that scripture you started with! Your home is such a glorious Royal place to go with the glory of Christs birth and the blessing of your sons birth. So fun to meet you!!
I have ideas on how to use my blue dishes at Chritmas. My Facebook has them posted for thanksging wwith brown …. You might enjoy my husbands Christmas music with your Christmas dinner. Johndoan.com
Deirda, it so nice to meet you and we will definitely check in on your husband’s music! I love to entertain and set a table! Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and hope you will come back!
Very beautiful table Pam! Hope your son had a wonderful birthday. My first baby, a girl; was born on Christmas day. That is why we named her Nichole, (with an h). It’s easy to overlook her birthday, but I try to make it not just blend in with Christmas. Thanks for sharing with Creating Christmas.
hugs,
Jann
I love your daughter’s name spelled with an “h”! I always separated our son’s birthday from Christmas when he was growing up! Thanks always, Jann!
How very pretty. I know you and your family will enjoy this so much. Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing at Home Sweet Home!
Thanks Sherry! Happy Thursday!
