Okay all, has anyone got a theme/colour for their Christmas table?

Funnily enough, no! In my living room, all my decorations have to be red and gold, but when it comes to my table it's a hodge podge. My old Christmas tablecloth with a centrepiece the kids made a few years ago, whatever crackers I have for the tree (and oh joy, I was given a box of Barney the dinosaur ones for Hayley tonight), and that's about it. I would love to have one of those glam ones you see in magazines, but no go I'm afraid.

See I want to go for a nice colour theme this year Dave's Mom died in April and his Dad is being dragged from the house - notsure this will be succesful as he says he's staying home.

He has been really really sad and depressed. Dave says he'll stay there if his Dad won't come can't blame him and his Dad wants no one to come over Christmas as he says he is/will be too sad to celebrate and won't ruin it for others

thing his his Mom and Dad were marrried on Chrisatmas day so their anniversay too would be 50 years

so will be very emotional.

But if we managed to entice him away even just for dinner I want it to look nice.

If I were you Kazz, I wouldn't go for anything blatantly modern ie silver and blue etc. If you want to decorate I'd go down a more traditional road with pine cones and holly etc, perhaps in a red theme. Warm and inviting!

Yeah I was thinking crisp white linen table cloth and white china, best cutlery and crystal glasses with a touch of gold or red in the tablemats/runner/serviettes etc. As well as red and green tradition crackers,

Sounds lovely, do you think that too much white would be clinical looking? Perhaps a bit more colour? I'm not much good at this type of thing though tbh, lol!

Your table looked beautiful last year Kazz, I am sure something similar this year would be beautiful too. I really hope you manage to get him over to yours for lunch x
