Santa and his reindeer grace this table.

Another Santa is standing by the glam tree. He looks like he spent the day in the woods.


Santa is decked out with plaids.  He even had mittens with plaid. A cute Santa mug is a fun addition.

These cute little Santa suits are actually a Christmas pick. I removed the stick so I could add the flatware. They are on sale at Michaels right now.

I am using two napkins.  A plaid plus a 3 color napkin with gold, green and red.

I like to dress my chandelier.  I added the LED firework lights along with these large white snowflakes. Red beads and plaid ribbons were also added.

Santa's sleigh and reindeer we bought from Pottery World years ago.


Santa party poppers sit beside the santa suit.  This table is all about Santa and plaid.


Our built in wine refrigerator and icemaker are so handy for entertaining.

  1. Plaid Tidings to you Linda! Love all the Santas, deer and merriment in your dining room with the plaid bows on your chandy and sparkling tree. I’m mad about plaid… you can never have too much in my book. I love how you repurposed the Santa suit picks to hold your flatware, so clever! Looking forward to seeing your living room decked out for the holidays. As always, it’s a treat to join you at the table and hop with you. Merry Tuesday❣️🎄

  2. That plaid tablerunner and mats just set off the holiday season so perfectly with all your charming touches. I love the cute Santa plates and of course the touches in the table center are so whimsical and charming! That Santa/sleigh is a gem and I'm loving the Santa jacket silverware holders! Beautiful, Linda!

  7. It's alway a treat to see how you have set your table!! Love the Santa dishes and the crackers bring back memories (they are fun but I found confetti for days!!). Your bows are so pretty on the chandelier - did you make them? I wish you and Paul a joyous season!

  8. I like those Santa plates with Santa wearing a plaid hat and mittens. Also the fur and plaid neck warmer you put on that gold reindeer really dresses it up!

  12. You can never go wrong with a Santa theme! This is so much fun, I love all the Santas and plaids! The Santa sleigh and reindeer centerpiece is beautiful! The mugs are so cute and how brilliant to take a pick and turn it into a flatware case, that was the first thing I spotted and wondered where you got the Santa jacket, love this idea!! You even found Santa crackers to match! Your chandy looks very festive and I have a serious case of envy with your built in wine fridge and ice maker close by~
    Merry holidays Linda!

  14. Linda, what a merry and fun table setting --- ho, ho, ho! Brought a big smile to my face and the song lyrics, "Santa Claus is coming to town", to my brain. Love those Santa plates! How clever to turn the picks into flatware holders! And it all goes so well with the plaid. Wonderful having the ice maker and wine frig built-ins. You have such a beautiful and well-appointed home. Looking forward to seeing the decorated living room. Wishing you a healthy and happy holiday season.

  15. Love the theme, Linda! And I also love all the little Santa touches: What a great idea to turn the Santa coat picks into silverware holders! I also like the napkin rings. Your tables are aways festive, but this one is one of my favorites! I also like the Santa illustrations on your plates. You have a super-cool Santa collection, and the sleigh is fun, too. I also love how you always decorate your light fixture, and the LED fireworks light are so neat....I bet they look fantastic at night! The built-ins in your dining area are fantastic. Merry Christmas!

  18. Linda as I have said before you never disappoint with your beautiful table settings. This one is not exception. It is sometimes the little things that make me smile and your Santa coats that hold the silverware are too adorable. Made me smile. Have a beautiful week. xoxo Kris

  19. Linda, what a beautiful way to honor Santa, including all of the details. I was amazed with your centerpiece-Santa in his sleigh being pulled by his reindeer. I thought it was amusing and adorable that the deer were well dressed for cold weather too. (Must be from Wisconsin.) The Santa plates are adorable and the Santa coat flatware holder made me smile. What a cute idea. The plaid makes it so festive and your matching chandelier really adds more fun and elegance. The waistline napkin rings are charming. Your Christmas tree in the background really is gorgeous. It makes the entire room light up with fun and the anticipation of Santa for both kids and adults alike. Merry Christmas to you and your family, Linda. Blessings to you all.

  20. Linda, I love all of the plaid! The plaid bows and white snowflakes are showstoppers on the chandelier. I like that the table is all about Santa. He looks so handsome in his sleigh. Seeing your Christmas tree makes the room magical. You pay attention to detail, and it really makes for a beautiful table! Merry December 🎄

  21. Linda, you ALWAYS do such an amazing job with your tablescapes and this lovely Santa themed tablescape is no exception! I love it all, but a couple of things really caught my eye! I always enjoy seeing how you decorate and incorporate your chandelier. Those sweet little Santa coat picks used to hold the flatware is brillant! I am going to run to my local Michael's and see if they have any left. I know my granddaughters would get a kick out of helping me set the table with those! Then there is your beautiful Santa sleigh and reindeer! Just perfect! Merry Christmas to you and your family!!

  22. Such a fun table Linda! I love the little Santa coats for the flatware and the napkin rings are precious. You always add the most amazing little details to all your tablescapes! Your Santas and the sleigh bring that "Linda" touch of elegance that is always there. Thanks for the inspiration. Pinned!

  24. Linda I love your ingenuity! I actually have Santa coats that were made for holding flatware and they almost match your DIY. I also have the Santas napkin rings that I found at the same time which is several years ago. Your table theme with the Santas is adorable and your plaid is perfect. Christmas and Plaid just go together beautifully. Always a treat to see your chandy...so inspirational. Merry Christmas to you and your lovely family.

  25. I've become obsessed with plaid for Christmas decor and I love the way you combined various patterns of plaid for a festive table! All your Santas will bring smiles to your guests, particularly those fabulous plates. He's a really jolly Santa, bringing poinsettias, birds and presents. The fur shrugs on the reindeer are a fun accent. Charming and festive! Merry Christmas!

  29. Precioso y entrañable tu salón de Navidad, Me ha encantado el trineo de Papa Nöel, los platos con su simpática cara, tu ingenio al colocar los cubiertos, los grandes lazos, en fin una preciosidad como las que nos tienes acostumbrados. Un besote bien grande

  30. Santa never looked so dapper than in his plaid! This is an adorable table. How fun to sit down to the flatware in the fat man suit, and a popper at the ready! The centerpiece sleigh with Santa and reindeer make it all come to life. And your candy has become an integral.part of every table decor, so fun to see how you tailor it for each one. Linda, thanks so much for bringing such fun and creative tables with great source ideas that you share. Wishing you all the best this holiday season.

  31. Oh Linda! I love your Santa theme! Everything from the plates to the crackers. And, the little Santa coats....how my gosh, so cute! They sleigh centrepiece is gorgeous! Especially love the Santa mugs. I have a set now, but wish I could find a vintage set like the ones we had growing up. Your table speaks to the child in each of us come Christmas time! Wishing you a very merry Christmas.
