So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Setting Kitchen Tables

By Jim Slate

Slate and Artstone - If you are going to make room in the hustle and bustle kitchen for a dining table, then you should take some time and care in choosing how to present that piece to the world. A table is almost like a platform, elevating whatever is on it to visual height, and putting it out there for the world to see. You should choose wisely when deciding which decorative pieces to give this particular honor to.

The first thing to think about with kitchen tables is the utility of the piece. In most kitchens, space is at a premium, and in a pinch the table is going to be used to make up for insufficient counter space. For this reason it is important that you not clutter up the surface of the table with a lot of useless decorative items. Instead you should choose to display only one or two tasteful objects, which will evoke the meaning you are trying to represent.

One of the classic ways to spruce up a kitchen is with a display of flowers, or some sort of small and modest plant. The kitchen is a place of activity and life, where sustenance is prepared and creativity is expressed. Having a decorative vase with a tasteful display of flowers is a great way to enhance these inherent effects.

Some people choose to use a tablecloth on these pieces. This can make the difference between an informal setting, which is used as much for sitting around and chatting as it is for eating; and a formal piece which is set up to be the dining room, or at least a dining room in the house.

A kitchen table is a prominent piece that stands out in the kitchen, taking up valuable space, and dominating the decorative nature of the room. You should be certain to take extra time and care when selecting which decorative pieces to display on it.
