Having a beautiful tablecloth with matching placemats and napkins creates a wonderful dining atmosphere and your diners’ surroundings will enhance the lively conversations and set your guests at ease.

Tablecloths

During the Christmas holidays, your table should look different from all other days. The tablecloth is your foundation, the background to an inviting table. Because the tablecloth sets the tone, you want to determine whether you want to project an atmosphere that’s formal and elegant or glamorous and sensuous, or is casual and warm more your style? The themes in Christmas tablecloths can vary from trees to wreaths to Santa; there is one sure to be right for you and your dining table.

Placemats

The basic purpose of placemats is to catch any smidgens of food or liquid that happens to drop off from the dish while you’re eating. But the effect of the placemat is to enhance the individual’s experience of dining at the table. Christmas placemats are all pretty and whether you prefer a traditional, country, modern, or Santa theme, there is a wide variety.

Napkins

It has become more acceptable to use pretty paper napkins for the holidays, basically because you want to have plenty around to wipe your hands or mouth while you’re eating and the technology has become so good that a lot of the paper napkins have luscious designs and textures that they are a pleasure to use.  People seem to need a lot of napkins especially since food seems to be attracted to blouses or shirts, therefore one should always remember to set enough for everyone’s use. Cloth napkins are more environmentally friendly and can’t be beat for a formal dining effect.

Do not be left behind, decorate your table on Christmas day to look cozy and festive for your family by adding these elegant Christmas table linens to make a beautiful statement without having to break a bank. Using Christmas colors of red and green or themed Christmas prints can make the table inviting to your family and friends.
