I find it more fun to have a color scheme, or even a bit of a theme for my Christmas décor.
This year I had a plan to use Jingle Bells in my décor.
To be honest I was not quite sure how it would all end up, but so far I am pleased with my simple addition.
The colors for this years dining table will be black and white with touches of greenery, silver and pinecones.

I
started by placing a black and white buffalo checked topper on my
table. I then placed a sparkly wall mirror for my base. The jewels
around the frame remind me of snowflakes.

The movie the Polar Express is a favorite of mine so I had to use this little saying.
The BELL is the important piece in the room, so I chose to use only one.
I
could have added more greenery, bells and embellishments, but I think
in decorating it is important to know when to stop adding so I kept it
simple, and uncomplicated.
I
suspended the large bell with fishing line to make it the feature. I
decided to keep it simple and only add a few fresh sprigs of greenery,
snow, and pine cones.

In the evening the candles are lit and it just glistens.
Do YOU still BELIEVE!
