AWESOME! Just in time to start making plans for our annual Ladies' Christmas Tea the first weekend of December. I think I'm going to agree to do a table this year. Any ideas for a theme, anyone?

I did see this cute Christmas Tree Napkin folding idea - to begin with.

You could incorporate these gift boxes.

We will dump everything here and you can throw out what doesn't work. Eventually we will have an organized theme.

This would be really cute, proportionally, and in whatever colors and design you like best.

LOVE this one!

I'm thinking that I might go in the direction of the elf on the shelf so I can fold the napkins like the elves' shoes :) Got any suggestions for that??

Let me think, but off the top of my head, because of my childhood, I am thinking of ribbon candy and vintage ornaments.

I like the idea of him sitting on a train. Of course, this one is way too long, but I have a cute train that I think I will use this year.

You could also have this with the elf sitting in the branches.

And I like the idea of a gingerbread house, some tall trees and the elf.

I love the train idea because Walt is a gigantic TRAIN BUFF :) It'd be perfect!

Awesome for the train! I'm very sure you could find some elf shoes at a local craft store. Hobby Lobby always has something you can use or build an idea off of. Being Walt loves trains, and you probably have what you need, I would go with that. Maybe have a Gingerbread house in the middle to represent a village, if you have room.

Let us know what you decide, and I hope others add their ideas even if they are not elf related.

You have great ideas for Christmas decorations, but is it possible to include some Christian item? after all we are supposed to be celebrating Christ birth, so I recon he should at least have a token decoration somewhere.

Well, Margie was focusing on the elf shelf. I did say that I hoped anyone else would also include their ideas even if not the elf theme that Margie had in mind.

I will add some things, but right now, I wanted it to be about Margie's idea.

LOL, thanks, but I believe I will pass on this particular idea.

PO, I will post pics of the table when I do it. Our Tea is the first Friday in December so I have some time :) But I am NOT a wait-till-the-last-minute kind of girl! So I am already working on it :) You are a big help - all of you. Thanks!

That will be great! I am not a wait-till-the-last-minute girl either. Good for you! I love planning and preparation. :thumbsup
