Mr Delight made these birch log candleholders for me a few years back which of course, makes them extra special.
They became the centerpiece for my Cozy Country Christmas tablescape.
I added some pine cones and greenery candle rings to some of the birch holders.
I like that Mr Delight made them so that some hold a taper candle and others hold a tealight.
I used my red Pier 1 bowls sitting inside a faux boxwood wreath that I made.
Red checked napkins add to the country vibe.
The place settings included a round woven placemat, a rustic white charger and the Christmas dishes I've had for ages.
Red berry napkin rings encircle the napkins.
Each guest (including me LOL) has a little present set beside their place.
It's especially fun at Christmas time to give those seated at your table, a little something.
Copper flatware, snowflake wine glasses and festive mugs complete the place settings.
It's nice to have a view of our tree from the dining table.
And this is the other view.
Candlelight always creates a cozy feel and is especially nice when it's cold and snowy outside. I also added a string of mini-lights to add even more ambiance.
Do you set a special table for the other days during the holidays?
Of course, this tablescape could work for a casual cozy Christmas Day too!
Thanks for visiting!
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!
