Day 1: DUST! Hit the ground running. Give everyone in your household a can of furniture spray and some microfiber cloths and, by dividing and conquering, tackle the entire house.

My favorite thing about ANY holiday is the food! Well, not just the food, but sharing meal time ona well-appointed table eating familiar dishes with the people you love... that's my favorite thing about the holidays. In my family, we get together on Christmas Eve and make TONS of tamales! We have a delicious Mexican soup called "pozole" and warmed Mexican Christmas punch made with fresh fruit... yum. ANYWAY, WELCOME! You're probably coming over from Joan's blog at "2 Ladies & A Chair" where you saw her fabulous and festive holiday table. SUCH A FUN TABLESCAPE, RIGHT?! Well, Thanks for clicking over here! This lil' blog hop is showcasing 7 gorgeous holiday tables decorated by a few of your favorite home decor bloggers. I hope you are able to pick up some ideas for you to incorporate in your home. I will add links to the other tablescapes at the end of this post so you can check them out. For my tablescape, I was inspired by the colors that I used throughout my home this holiday season. If you have been a loyal reader, then you probably remember that I used burgundy and black on my tree and in my living room. If you missed that post, you can view my holiday home tour HERE. My tablescape is pretty simple and straightforward. It started with these cool plaid plates I found at HomeGoods for $3.99 each. Nice, right? They also don't SCREAM "I'm a Christmas plate!" so I can use them throughout the year for other occasions. After that, my goal was to find a coordinating tablecloth and I wasn't having much luck until I ran into this cool striped fabric at IKEA! I purchased two yards which cost me 10 bucks! Score! I added some garland (Trader Joe's $6) down the center of my table and embellished it with a few pomegranates and dollar store gift boxes! BAM! I have a runner! For my "place cards" I used branches that I got for free at my local tree lot and tied ornaments to the branch and wrote the person's name on the ornament with my somewhat decent handwriting! Voila'! I made a place card that also doubles as a keepsake! Now, every time that person looks at that ornament they will remember the fun time we had during our Christmas dinner, and what a fantastic host I was! ;) SHOP THE LOOK!
