I’m ushering in the Christmas Season,
at the table with Mikasa Holiday Traditions!
In keeping with Holiday Traditions, boughs of holly and berries deck the dinnerware, banded in gold with a red chain border, for a timeless and elegant pattern for the Christmas and holiday season.
Wallace Gold Accent Corsica Flatware makes a debut at our table and a handsome dinner companion, with its smooth handles and textured basket-weave design with gold-plated accents.
Santa’s sleigh stopped at the produce department for a centerpiece for the table. Ornaments in vases from last week’s table are now trimming the tree, replaced with a mixture of seasonal eatings, nuts and fruit~ cranberries, apples, pears clementines~ for a festive and easy centerpiece, and economical when you consider it’s edible!
Mix up Merry Cranberry Salsa~ a light, flavorful appetizer that comes together in 10 minutes for an office or holiday gathering.
Greenery, fruit and nuts make a casual
and natural runner for the table.
Tip:
If you have access to Leyland Cypress, it’s an ideal evergreen to Deck the Halls since it won’t leave a sticky, sappy residue behind on your mantle, stairs, or table.
Santa’s on his way, delivering a napkin and
leaving an ornament as a gift at each place setting.
A Covered Casserole is served up on
red rimmed 12 Inch Round Platter.
Holiday Traditions Covered Sugar Bowl and Creamer
and Salt and Pepper Set are available
for your holiday table and entertaining.

I’ll be on the lookout for Leyland Cypress evergreens. The Mikasa dinnerware is lovely. Wow, what gorgeous flatware. Have a great week Mary!
What a lovely table, Mary. The Leyland Cypress is wonderful…wish we had it here in the northeast. Also love the flatware. It’s a beautiful addition to your tablescape.
Oh Mary, I really REALLY like this Mikasa pattern! Beautifully set table…I’m copying that produce department centerpiece for sure.
Your little Santa napkin rings are adorable.
Thanks for the tip about the Leyland Cypress, too. I didn’t know that.
You are an inspiration to us all on how to set a festive table. It is so inviting !
The recipe sounds great! Pretty tablescape, and the sweet Mikasa dishes are so cheerful with the holly border. Very nice! Thanks for the coding for the discount, too, Mary!
Oh Mary, what a gorgeous pattern from Mikasa. I wish I had room for more Christmas dishes. These are especially beautiful and timeless. You must have so much fun playing with dishes. The natural centerpiece is wonderful! xo
Ho Ho Ho …!!! Lovely!
This is a beautiful understated pattern and I love it with all the natural elements you have brought together…the traditional fruits and nuts of the season look so elegant in the glass vessels…great tip about the Leyland Cypress, I have always stayed away from greenery for the resin issue~I love the pairing of the china with those sparking napkins and chargers, and the Santa face napkin ring! I made your Cranberry Salsa last year and it was a huge hit~
What a beautiful Holiday dinnerware pattern. Your table is beautiful and puts me into the spirit of Christmas.
I love this pattern, Mary! It is simple but ELEGANT! I love how you use your vases for centerpieces, hope you don’t mind if I copy this later on. You are so inspiring. Come on over to see SOME of my Santas. Have a GREAT week.

It’s a beautiful table, Mary. I had this pattern. Service for 8. Gave it to our granddaughter last year.
I would just leave this table in place for the entire season. As always, lovely.
Mary, you have such impeccable taste. The Holiday Traditions Mikasa dinnerware and the Wallace Gold Accent Corsica flatware are a perfect pairing as well as the beautiful napkins and table decorations…Simple and yet so elegant! Your tables just take my breath away.

Every week I see something that I don’t think I can live without, and this week it’s the gorgeous napkins. Love that plaid and the textural fabric. The Santa napkin rings complement the napkins beautifully with a touch of whimsy. Beautiful table!

Oy vey!!! Talk about BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!! This is a timeless and utterly elegant china pattern that will endure for eons! I love the flatware you used alongside, too. All so pretty, Mary!!!
Beautiful pattern and love the flatware. The color of your beaded placemats is so versatile. Too bad we don’t have Home Goods here. My husband probably wouldn’t think so, LOL!!
The cranberry salsa looks delish! You have a beautiful collection of Mikasa and I love how you added the ornament to each setting!
