January 3rd is the 10th Day of Christmas

Are you sad that you've packed away your Christmas decor for another year?  Or are you feeling lazy and thinking you better get at the tear-down? If it is the latter, the good news is, you don't need to feel bad as it is still Christmas.  Yes, there really are 12 days of Christmas and today, January 3rd is Day 10.  

With that in mind, I'm going to show you this tablecape I created yesterday for us to enjoy during the last days of Christmas. 

I know not many people are still decorating for Christmas once Dec 25th is over but here at Dining Delight, the fun continues!

And not with a 

Ten Lords a Leaping tablescape

 but with an elegant red & gold Christmas tablescape. 

Inspiration began with these centerpieces I created using these Dollar Store containers. I originally designed these for a client for a Christmas Eve dinner party she was having.

I put floral foam inside the neutral containers and poked frost-tipped greenery pieces into the foam.

Then I attached red and gold ornaments to floral wire and also poked them into the foam.

I am a big fan of repetitive centerpieces so I placed three of them down the center of the table.

These glass ornament-filled candleholders were placed in between the centerpieces.

The place settings were layered in red & gold as well...

...with a red charger, a gold rimmed dinner plate and a Christmas designed red salad plate.

A gold coloured placemat and flatware coordinate with the place settings.

The topper on the dish stack was the placecard holder I created.

I have a number of these gold pillar candleholders (Partylite years ago).  I used them as pedestals for the glass dishes...

...that I filled with red beads, an ornament placecard holder, some greenery and colour-coordinated chocolates.

A red and gold napkin were combined in a gold napkin ring.

Naturally, I decorated the sideboard behind the table too.

A red and gold colour scheme was added here as well...

...with two more of the centerpiece containers.

I am a big fan of these Real-Lite faux candles! So real-looking with a flickering faux flame.

It is hard to capture in photos, but the frost-tipped greenery and gold ornaments add a lovely sparkle to the table.

The 12 days of Christmas begin on Dec 25th and end on Jan 5th with the start of Epiphany on Jan 6th.

If you are like me, I hope I've made you feel better about still having your Christmas decorations up.
Relax and enjoy them for a few more days!

Thanks for visiting!
