A big Thank you to Rita of Panoply

My birthday is coming up soon 🥳

and one of my best friends and her husband

have December birthdays too

It is our tradition to have dinner together to celebrate all 3

Let’s have a Birthday/Christmas dinner party!

The table is festive in silver, red, and green

Sparkly ornaments and shiny silver packages make a beautiful scene!

The chairs are tied with big fluffy bows

Crystal goblets, Christmas plates, and sterling silverware

put on a pretty show

There are a few large candy canes scattered around

A giant peppermint and ornaments abound!

A whimsical Christmas tree pitcher for ice water awaits

And look there’s a small surprise package on top of the plates!

Snowy red ornaments hang from above

Even the chandy got some holiday love!

    Jenna, How fun you and your friend and hubby can celebrate your birthdays together in December! Love the shimmery table runner layers in red and silver, as well as the large ornaments, candy canes, packages and bows on your chairs. Spode Christmas Tree is such a classic and cheery Christmas pattern. As always, it’s a treat to join you at the table and hop with you. Merry Almost Birthday❣️🥳🎄

    Beautiful pictures! Looking to celebrating all of our birthdays together soon!

  3. What a delightful table, Jenna! It’s whimsical, warm and cheery with the ornaments and your dishes, but with a quiet elegance, thanks to the beautifully wrapped chairs. Such a happy table, as all yours are! (I know those dishes, too! You’ll see them later on my blog, too!) Birthdays are always wonderful and so special to celebrate! I can guarantee great merriment at that table!

  4. So festive and beautiful!

  5. Kitty says:

    Looks like a fun table to celebrate you and your best friend and her hubby! Happy Birthday to you and your friends!
    P. S. Your poem was cute, too!

  6. Jenna, loved the rhyming description of your delightful Birthday/Christmas table setting. The festive table runner in holiday colors with candy canes and ornaments ushers in the holiday season. Celebrating multiple birthdays is such fun. I’m sure you have a wonderful time. Love the classic Spode Christmas Tree pattern. Have a wonderful holiday!

  7. It all looks so festive!

  8. Jenna, this is such a cheery table (and another cute poem). I love all of the ornaments (if i tried to do that it would look like a hurricane came through and blew them all over the table!). You have a lovely dining room, too. Have a wonderful birthday and enjoy the holiday season!

  9. What a fun candy cane Christmas table. Those ornaments hanging from above fit the theme well. Very festive. Happy Birthday!

  10. Jessica says:

    Jenna, what a lovely idea to co-celebrate your December birthdays, and this is a fun and festive table to do so! Love the table length centerpiece. It generates a happy holiday feeling and is perfect for the season. Wishing you a most happy birthday and Merry Christmas!

  15. Kim says:

    Jenna, this is such a fun tablescape and perfect for a December birthday and Christmas. I love how you scattered the ornaments and presents and candy canes down your centerpiece and the Christmas tree plates are classic! Love your pretty ornaments on the chandy too. Festive is exactly the word that came to mind. Happy upcoming birthday to you!

  16. Ricki Treleaven says:

    I love your table, Jenna! The table runner with all the red ornaments is so sparkly and glittery. I also like the presents on each plate stack: That’s a nice touch. Even your chairs are all dressed up for the party! Hanging the ornaments from the light fixture is a fun touch, too. I also like the black and white trees on your entryway table. I always enjoy seeing how you style your entryway! Merry Christmas!

  17. How fun Jenna. Three birthdays to celebrate. The table looks so pretty decked out with ornaments and candy canes. Love that your decorated your chandy too. The chairs look fabulous with their red bows. The spode Christmas tree plates area classic. May your birthdays be filled with joy. Always a pleasure to join you on these blog hops. Merry Christmas.

    Happy Birthday, and thanks for sharing your poetry and tablescape! So pretty and always so fun!

  19. Marsha says:

    Jenna, what a beautiful tradition to celebrate your birthdays together. Happy Birthday! And what better tablescape than this cheerful and jovial one. It brings out the inner child in each of us and the joy of being together “to play”. I love the whimsy patterns and the oversize balls and candy canes. It is like being in a candy store decorated for Christmas. I love the added bows to the chairs and the dressed chandelier. Have a wonderful festive time celebrating the birthdays. Merry Christmas.

  20. Hello Jenna, how fun to have friends with the same birth date. If my memory serves me well, you also share a birthday with our son on the 11th. I love your poem and all the whimsical and sparkly elements in the centerpiece that are so much fun! The Spode plates are always a favorite and classic. The chandy looks so pretty dressed for the party! It is always a pleasure to join you at one of your beautiful tables. Happy early birthday 🎉🎂♥️

    How fabulous that you all can get together to celebrate.
    Your table is bright and cheery and elegant too.
    Happy Birthday to you very soon!

    Jenna, I always enjoy reading your delightful poems to go along with your fun holiday tablescapes! I spotted your painted pitcher, too, as I am always looking for where you have expressed your talents on your tablescapes!! Birthdays in December always make me kind of sad, that you don’t have a special month to celebrate without all of the hustle and bustle of the holidays. My one granddaughter celebrates her birthday on December 15th and my mother’s is December 24th. Wishing you a Merry Christmas and a Happy Birthday!

    • You are so sweet Chloe! My birthday is far enough away from Christmas that it doesn’t bother me a bit, I’m just happy to have one 😂 Thank you for the birthday wishes and Merry Christmas!

  24. Ann Krucek says:

    Jenna, your table looks like the perfect place to celebrate with friends for birthdays and Christmas alike!! so cheerful and fun!! I always like to see your personal pieces, your pitcher is adorable. I hope you have a Happy Birthday and a good time at the table!! Wishing you a joyous Christmas season as well!🕊

  25. Such a delightfully joyous table for Christmas-time birthdays, Jenna! Lighthearted and festive, it will bring smiles to all who have a chance to sit at it. The silver items are a cool counterpoint to all the pretty reds and the wrapped packages are fun additions. Both my sister and brother have birthdays during Christmas week and we have always made sure that their birthdays got separate celebrations.

  26. Kari says:

    Poetry! You know I love your poetry and your table is lovely Jenna. Spode Christmas tree plates are always a favorite as they seem to say “It’s Christmas time”. I also like the red ribboned chairs and yes, your Christmas tree painted on the pitcher. You did good girl as always. My birthday is the week before Thanksgiving and there were times back in the midwest that the deep and heavy snows kept us from celebrating either occasion. Enjoy your birthdays and know that you are a sweet friend that I will always appreciate.

  27. Sarah says:

    What a fun idea! I love the idea of a birthday celebration around the table with friends as a wonderful way to celebrate. Your table is beautifully set. Enjoy your birthday Monday. Your card is going to be late. But I’ll be thinking of you on Monida.

  28. Rita C. says:

    I’m just in time to wish you a very happy birthday celebration, Jenna! Your table looks so festive, amd how fun to share it with close friends. I love all the red &white ornaments, both big and small, running down the table’s center. Enjoy your birthday and the holidays, stay healthy, amd make merry. Thank you for being a part of this fun group. I’ve so enjoyed everyone’s contributions and love being a part of it too.

  29. Maureen says:

    Jenna, the sparkle of the silver and red is Christmas perfection! It really made me smile! I love the wee package on each of those festive plates! The ornaments on the chandelier are such a nice touch. What a fun way to celebrate the December birthdays!

  30. Pam says:

    Jenna, this is so gorgeous! I just love it all! Happy birthday!

  31. Cyndi Raines says:

    I know I am late with my birthday wishes, hope you had a great day! Your table is awesome with those giant ornaments, how fun! Mine is the 24th and have always enjoyed all the joy of the season and the “Reason” behind the season! Merry Christmas Jenna!

    • Thank you so much Cyndi! That’s right, you have a December birthday too! I hope your holidays are Merry and your birthday full of blessings…Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas!
