The Season of Giving

Merry, Merry!

Here we are just 3 short weeks until Christmas

Welcome to the annual Christmas tablescape blog hop

Thank you Rita from Panoply for being our incredible hostess!

This is the season of giving and who gifts the most gifts of all?

Why Santa of course!

Have you written your letter yet?

Part of Christmas is all about the presents!

In the foyer things are looking Merry

There are presents on the table

There’s one for me and one for you!

Presents on a glass and on the napkin rings

There is a Presents pillow on the chair

There are presents everywhere!

Presents and polka dots make a merry pair!

Jolly Santa has polka dots on his hat,

He loves that!

The chairs are tied with big red bows

What’s in all the packages only Santa knows!

I hope you have a very Jolly Holiday!

    Good Morning Jenna! Your Santa table with presents is adorable! Love the combination of cheery checks and polka dots. The peppermint placemats look so festive under your Santa plates and chargers and your painted Santa glasses make me smile. Love seeing your Santa Nutcracker standing sentry at the door! As always, it’s a treat to have a virtual seat you at your table, Merry Tuesday!❤️🎄🎅🎁

    Merry Tuesday, Jenna! Thank you for reminding me to write a letter to Santa. As a child, I was a little frightened of Santa. I would write him a letter and my Daddy who was a postman would make sure that Santa received my letter! I love all of the presents on your table. I know your grandchildren love seeing them. The peppermint placemats are so cute and I love the Santa plates. The presents pillow is fabulous. Dots and checks make for a fun and festive table! The Santa Nutcracker looks regal guarding the foyer! It is always a pleasure to visit your table! Merry week, Jenna ✨♥️🎄

    LOVE the centerpiece…the trees are so cute! You have an adorable dot theme going on. Your plates and glasses are darling, but my favorite: the pillows!!! They are fabulous! Your entry is festive and fun, just like you, Friend!!! Merry Christmas!!! XO, Ricki Jill

  9. Jenna, I left a comment on your table then received a message that it was marked as spam. Hope you can retrieve it!! Enjoyed hopping with you today

  10. Checks and dots always make me smile! Love your Santa theme table, your handsome Santa Nutcracker at your entry is one of my favorite pieces in your Christmas decor. I know he must make you smile each time you pass his way. When you said 3 short weeks, I had to pause. Time flies by so quickly! Let’s make the most of these days. Happy Holidays, sweet friend!

  11. I love the presents on the table! And seeing your packages pillow reminds me that I have that in coasters and had best get them out today! Your settings are always cheerful and I envision lots of smiles, laughter and joy happening at the delightful table!

    Such a festive, happy way to welcome the holiday season, Jenna. Love the way the centerpiece captures your imagination. The colors and patterns are a feast for the eyes. All the details work well together from the present pillows to the Santa plates. There will be lots of smiles from guests invited to this table. Merry Christmas!

    What a playful and cheery tablescape for Christmas, Jenna! I can the kids really having fun with this one (and the adults!). The Santa plates are too cute (source, please?), and all your unique artwork on the pillow, napkin rings, and glasses are always fun to see. I really enjoy the whimsical hand you approach with. And I like the all the presents and trees garnered on the table on the charger! I am really into collecting trees (and snow globes) this past year for some unknown reason (just randomly available at estate sales), and yours caught my eye right away. The more the merrier, and merry is definitely the theme here. Thank you, Jenna, for being a part of this fun and inspiring group of table stylists. I wish you and yours a very merry holiday season. 🎄❣️

    • Thank you so much Rita! I got the Santa plates on Amazon last year but they are no longer available so that’s why I didn’t source them. I can’t believe how fast the calendar pages are flipping! ❤️

    So pretty Jenna and of course your prose would be missed if you didn’t include it. The painted glasses are adorable and I love all the presents re-presented under the tree, on the pillow and in your centerpiece. The nutcracker is guarding the door so no ” present burglar” can enter to remove the lovely presents left by the jolly old elf. What a lovely entry into your home. Merry Christmas dear friend.🌲🌲🌲

    So fun, Jenna!! If I walked through your doors and saw this bright room with the adorable polka dots- the first thing that would pop into my head- is that this girl knows how to have fun!! Even the Santa on your plates looks extra jolly!! I love all the mix of patterns and it is always fun to see your original artwork as well! I hope you have a wonderful Christmas season 🎄🤶 Ann from Corner of Plaid and Paisley

    I have had trouble commenting on WordPress. I got error messages–invalid security token. It looks like tonight I am able to comment.🙃 I enjoyed this post–so fun, festive, and colorful!

    Jenna, your tables are always so delightful and this one is no exception! The Santa plates are just adorable and look perfect with the chargers and those peppermint candy placemats. I love the mix of patterns with the polka dot runner and red and white checked napkins with the present napkin rings against the pretty centerpiece with your ball Santa, polka dot trees (love the white puff), and presents. Your signature hand-painted wine glasses are so special and the pillows are gorgeous, all with Mr. Nutcracker standing guard by the door. Of course it’s complete with your wonderful prose. It all just sings Christmas and I wish you and your family the merriest and most joyful Christmas and holiday season!

  18. Delightful is every way – I agree merry, merry!!

    Merry Friday, Jenna! I am so sorry I am so late in visiting. We have been traveling this week. I tried to work on my comments while I was riding in the car, but it made me carsick. Your Christmas table made me smile. I always love seeing the tables you set in your entry. It is such a pretty spot. Your Santa plates are adorable along with the cute Christmas pillows. I adore your centerpiece with the trees and of course lots of presents. The handsome Nutcracker standing guard is the perfect greeting for your holiday guests. Sweet friend, I wish you and your dear family a joyous Christmas season! Shannon@Belle Bleu Interiors
