Sweet Christmas Table: Christmas Tablescape Blog Hop

~ Christmas, Food & Entertaining, Tablescape Tuesday

“Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign. Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭7:14‬ ‭

Warm Christmas greetings and I am so glad you have landed here at Everyday Living! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year, don’t you agree?  Many of you were hit by a major snow storm over the weekend, and hopefully you stayed warm and safe. No snow for us here in the Appalachian Foothills, just four days of dark skies and rain! These are the kind of days that make me want to stay in by the fire, drink hot chocolate, and read or watch Hallmark movies. If only I could have, it would have been wonderful!

Today I am joining twenty creative bloggers to bring you a Christmas Tablescape blog hop hosted by Chloe of Celebrate & Decorate.  You’re invited to pull up a chair at my Sweet Christmas table!

I still love the traditional reds and greens of Christmas, it reminds me of sweet Christmases gone by.

The line-up for the week of tablescape inspiration is at the bottom of this post.

Hello sweet friends, I am so glad you are here. Welcome to day three of our Inaugural Monday Morning Blooms special Christmas tour! I am excited to be offering a fabulous GIVEAWAY, so you will want to make sure to read to the end of the post for a chance to win! 
If you are new to Everyday Living, we are blessed that our days at home are spent in the country on about 25 acres in the Appalachian foothills. We always have a country Christmas! 

  As you step up to my small front porch, you will see and smell the fresh greenery. The beautiful wreath is from Lynch Creek Farm, a family owned business since 1980. It is surrounded by fresh pine garland that My Renaissance Man cuts each year and hangs on our porches.

 It is always a pleasure to join my blogging friends Shirley, Mary, and Lidy. We are extending a warm welcome to our new member, Yvonne of StoneGable. Each of us is offering a giveaway. You will want to visit these talented ladies and comment for a chance to win! The links are provided at the bottom of this post.READ MORE
