Do any of you decorate your table for the season? I do but only for Christmas, Thanksgiving, and Holloween. I have a certain tablecloth and center piece that I use for each ocassion.

I used to love it when my grandma did that. She had themed tablecloths, usually 2 or 3 per season, and she'd rotate them. Each one would be on for about a week, sometimes less if someone made a big mess, then it would come off, go in the laundy, and the next one would be on the table before dinner. She saved her holiday themed tablecloths for the Sunday (that's the day she usually switched them) before the holiday, and would put the holiday tablecloth up for the whole week.

My finace' thinks I am crazy because I have to redecorate the table for each holiday. He just dosent understand it. I am not sure why he thinks it is so odd because his mother does the same thing.

Maybe he was hoping he would get away from the table decorating when he got married?

I have centerpieces for holidays,for my formal dining table, but not my kitchen table. My kids would tear it up.

I don't decorate the table for holidays at all. Our table isn't very big and we don't usually have anyone over that would see the decorations anyway. Maybe when we get into a bigger house and are more likely to have dinner guests, I'd be more likely to decorate the table.

I don't decorate the table for holidays. The kids just pull off the table cloth and want to play with any decorations/centerpeices on the table.

I decorate the table on special occasions only. Layered tableclothes are still elegant to the eyes, long but not touching the ground. A centerpiece makes it more attractive, especially silver centerpieces.
