A Cheerful Kid Friendly Christmas Tablescape

I love to put together fun tablescapes for special holidays and celebrations. Do you too?

Well today, I have a Cheerful Kid-friendly tablescape to share with you, But also, I am joining up with some other awesome bloggers who are also sharing their Christmas tablescapes. So follow along on this tour to get lots of ideas for your own Christmas tablescape. You can find all of the links at the end of this post.

A big Thank you to my sweet friend, Alicia, from A Burst Of Beautiful for inviting me to join in.

When I asked my two boys what their favorite Christmas decorations were that we own, they replied, "the nutcrackers and the little village". And so I wanted to create a special tablescape of their favorite things that they would find cheerful.

Now, I knew they would say, "The Nutcrackers" because the nutcrackers are a fun family tradition that we do every year. It all started with my husband. Growing up he and his mom would pick out a new nutcracker every year. And now we carry on the tradition with our boys. So as you can see, we have quite the collection of nutcrackers.

Most of which are grouped together on an old dresser in our dining room. And then a added a few more into my tablescape.

To be honest, I was really surprised that my boys mentioned the little village. I even hesitated for a moment wondering if I still had it or if I had given it away. Luckily, they found the little village in the big box of decorations. Whew! :)

I made the village one year out of a kit that I had picked up at a yardsale to use in that years Christmas decorating. But since then, the little houses were starting to fall apart a bit, and I wasn't being very carefull as I was packing them away. But since now I know it's a favorite for my boys, I got out the glue and fixed them all up again and will be a little more careful with them from now on.

I also jumbled together a few little timber that I were amassing at some point of the years.

I suppose the mixture of nutcrackers, timber, and the village, all appearance virtually joyful collectively.

As for my place settings, I started out off with my loved black and white plastic platemats from Ikea. Then I added a silver charger, white plate, a napkin with a wooded ring, and then for a fun touch, I located a tag to the serviette with a decorative clothespin.

All of the tags are different, some of them are even chalkboard ones that I had.

The clothespins I were given this year from Target.

My mother in law and I found a fun yardsale this summer, where a wedding caterer was selling a ton of tablewares. That's where I picked up the chargers, napkins, and fun wood rings.
