Happy Tuesday sweet friends! I have been busy decking the halls! Have you started or have you already finished your Christmas decorating?
“The true light, which gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.”
John 1:9
Grab a cup of coffee or tea and join me for a look back at tablescapes from Christmases past!

A nutcracker parade was a fun and whimsical tablescape with two different looks!
Collected Steinbach nutcrackers marched down the table which was covered in nutcracker wrapping paper!
Removing the wrapping paper gave the table a more classic look!
Simple elegance for a Christmas blessings and blooms table…
…with a teapot filled with ruffled carnations, fresh greenery, and seeded eucalyptus!
Christmas dinner is always served on the Bethlehem Christmas dishes. The birth of Jesus Christ is written on the eight dinner plates! They are placed on our table in chronological order, as each plate shares a portion of the story.
Queen’s Seasons Greetings blue and white dinnerware is a favorite and often asked about by readers!
A Lynch Creek Farm fresh centerpiece graces the table. Be sure to read Thursday’s post for a giveaway!
Tartan plaid is a wonderful contrast to the blue and white!
It’s that time of year that I look forward to dressing my tables and reimagining different ways to use what I have collected over almost fifty years of marriage.
So many have asked about this colorful stemware that a sweet friend gifted me many years ago!
At times, I choose to enjoy the look of the warm wood of our dining table!
The Fitz and Floyd “Winter Holiday” …
…join Fitz and Floyd Santas for a festive table!
I love to mix patterns such as florals, stripes, and plaids to add interest to a table!
All is calm, all is bright, on a table using “Seasons Greetings” once again! I am sure you will see it this year, also!
This table also has a mix of patterns, textures, and colors!
Cups are used for a simple table adornment of moss and collected Wedgwood ornaments!
“Happy Holidays” by Nikko was my first Christmas pattern. It has been used for years and is showing its age!
A view from the dining room!

Good Morning Pam, Thank you for sharing your beautiful tables and inspirational round up! I could never choose a favorite but your colorful nutcracker parade makes me smile, especially with your wrapping paper table runner! Happy Wednesday ♥
Thank you, Mary. The nutcracker parade was a really fun one for me!
Beautiful tablescapes and eecor surrounding, Pam. I love the blue & white with plaids, but the Fitz & Floyd pattern plays really make me happy! Looking forward to your newest crwation next week.
Thanks so much, Rita. I am working at full speed, but unfortunately my full speed isn’t what it used to be ♥️
Inspiration for everyone. Beautiful tidings of great joy!
Thank you, Alice. Blessings sweet friend ♥️
Pam, All of your tablescape are festive and beautiful. I love the idea that the Bethlehem plates are a tradition and tell the Christmas story. The F&F plates look so pretty and delicate. I think the plates with the post office are colorful and fun with a special nod to your Dad. I am so far behind in decorating the inside because of a planned trip tomorrow which was delayed in 2020 due to Covid. When we return, we’ll be full steam ahead! Thanks for the inspiration! Clara❤️
Thank you, Clara. You have such a wonderful memory about my Dad. Thank you for mentioning him, it warms my heart. I hope your trip is fabulous ♥️♥️
Good morning,Pam! First…are you safe from the tornadoes? It was a wild night here but no tornadoes. All of your table settings are so beautiful and festive, it would be too hard to pick a favorite! Kelley and I had one shopping goal on our Danube trip…to get nutcrackers. Would you believe we couldn’t find any? We even went in a tourist information shop to inquire in Salzburg. Now I would love to go back for the Christmas markets!
Thanks so much, Roxanne. We are safe, thankfully. It was torrential rain and lots of wind. Unbelievable that you couldn’t find nutcrackers. I would love the Christmas markets. Have a great day, my friend♥️
Beautiful tables Pam. It is difficult to chose a favorite. Blue and white with plaid always stands out to me. I have almost finished decorating. I put out my beautiful Advent Wreath and Bob and I are taking turns each night lighting the candle and presenting the devotion. Thank you for the joy you bring to my life.
Thank you, Dianne. I know your home adorned with Christmas decor is beautiful. I hope you will share it with us. How sweet that you and Bob are taking turns presenting the Advent devotion. You are a treasure, my friend!
Pam I love all your tables…you have such a way of making each and every one of them feel special and cozy. It is hard to pick a favorite but I am leaning toward the Christmas Blessings and Blooms because of the wonderful story of Jesus on the plates. I also love the wedgewood blue ornaments in the All is calm, all is bright table. You are so far ahead of the game this year as I have not gotten out one thing for decor other than our upcoming table hop. I’ve got to get busy. Happy Holidays dear friend. Hugs and Blessings.
Thank you, Kari. You are always so encouraging. I also love the Bethlehem Christmas dishware. We go around the table and everyone reads the scripture on their plates, it is a sweet and meaningful tradition. Hugs and blessings, my friend!
Good Morning dear Pam. Oh how I needed some inspiration and you gave it to me. As you know, I’m partial to tartan plaid and it matched with your blue and white is gorgeous!
I always leave with a smile when I visit your home. Thank you dear one! Happy Wednesday!
Thank you, Nancy for your sweet comments. Wishing you a beautiful Christmas season!
All of these beautiful tables have definitely put me in the Christmas spirit! I can’t wait to see your upcoming Christmas posts. I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Happy Christmas season, sweet friend!
Thank you and Merriest of Christmas seasons, Shannon!
You have so many gorgeous ones, but I have to say that the ones with the plaid tablecloths (all of them!) are my favorites!
Thanks so much, Jeanie. I am partial to plaid!
Thank you so much for this post. I always look forward to seeing your Christmas tablescape each year. Although I no longer decorate for Christmas as we spend most of the month with our Northern Indiana family, I still get inspiration and seasonal excitement from your lovely home. This year, I was volunteered to do the centerpiece for a table for our church’s senior adult choir’s Christmas party. Guess who I turn to for inspiration. Yes, so a double thank you!
It is amazing how you come up with new ways to use your things! God has surely gifted you with so many talents. May He continually bless you!
