Whether eaten at midday or in the evening, table settings become especially important at Christmas time when the main meal is central to the celebration.

If you consider the money you spend on this annual feast, not to mention the time and energy, it totally would make sense to take extra care of the table's appearance. It will add extra enjoyment to the meal, knowing that your Christmas table has been thoughtfully arranged.

Your table decorative setting is required to be versatile enough to last for at least several meals during the holiday period. Justifying the cash you paid for the table decorations will help you prolong the sense of festivity. Don't use everything for every meal, but rather start building up the look of your table with every successive meal, beginning with Christmas Eve.

A simple candlelit supper table laid using a tablecloth and matching napkins could have the festivities get off on the right note. You can then add an elaborate centerpiece, napkins, candles and a decorative runner for Christmas lunch or dinner, which will transform the table for the important occasion.

Every year a special dinner set is brought out for Christmas by many families. This set would normally have a particular pattern or color and would set the tone for the rest of the table decorations. If you set your table with deep, bold colors and luscious foliage, then delicately patterned blue and white dinner set will look odd. However, if you pair those blue and white plates using a blue tablecloth, loosely massed white hyacinths, and add candles in matching colors, they will look Christmassy too.

Your Christmas doesn't need to be less festive, if you do not have a special set of china for it. Think about what you might have and try to match it with the decorations elsewhere in the house. As a rule, the plainer your china, the more versatile it is. Unlike patterned, simple white plates will work well with any style - traditional Victorian or minimalistic.

When it comes to flowers for the table, try to think beyond the usual wreath of holly surrounding a set of candles. A centerpiece would look both festive and fresh when it is made of snowberries, dark pink hydrangeas, and roses. For something totally different, add napkin rings contrived from lengths of evergreen foliage and arrange long trails of ivy around tiny votive candles to complete the look.
