This evening we are celebrating Christmas one more time to finish up this yuletide season... a dinner party with some very special couples from our church and choir. We decided we were a bit tired of Christmas food so we opted for a spaghetti dinner with all the trimmings!

I changed up the table arrangement just for the occasion!
I remembered my festive green and red/pink placemats I purchased last year at the end of season sale and thought what a grand way to freshen up a new yule look!!!
My Johnson Brother's Christmas tree plates pair lovely with the White Essential plates I purchased this year from Home Goods... I love that they were fired in Portugal... I like their quality and I think they will serve us well as we enjoy our pasta!
I am so pleased with my cute napkins and jingle bell rings I purchased for a song this week at Pier1.
To jazz up the scene I also bought those two tree ornaments in such bold colors they tend to inspire thoughts of a festive New Year on the horizon as they take top billing on the brass candlesticks!!
You might notice the design on the placements are beautiful ornament shapes in many shades of red and green..I am happily using the same understated centerpiece that is happy and bright, but doesn't interrupt the flow of lively banter.. and we will definitely be bantering tonight... so many Christmas stories to share... I can hardly wait!!!!
Pink Saturday
