The dining room table is the heart of our home - it is here we eat, play, work and relax - sometimes in a group and sometimes alone. No matter what business is embraced during our active hours, in repose at the beginning and the end of each day, the table always reflects a season or a mood. In the weeks before Christmas, when secrets are rampant, the dark is filled with candlelight and twinkly tree lights, and it is necessary for the tabletop to be easily cleared for wrapping, crafting, gaming, etc., woven nutcracker placemats surround a holiday floral centerpiece that holds an apple-cinnamon scented red candle.
However, for the last week in December, the mats are replaced with a crisp white lined tablecloth printed with vintage Christmas images. It brightens up the room and since it doesn't completely banish the festive feeling, helps prevent post-holiday blahs.
