The decorations inside and out feature red and white polka dots, with a few green and white polka-dots thrown in the mix just for an extra pop of color! As you scroll through the photos at the bottom, don&#8217;t miss the photo of our furry friends who loved the candy canes on the tree but would always act innocent when I caught them by the tree!<\/p>\n<p>I am a traditional decorator when it comes to the holidays, especially Christmas (and of course, July 4th!). I tried the blue and silver one year, but even before the season was over, I was &#8220;over&#8221; the blue, missing my traditional red and green! Now, stored away in our attic are the blue lights that had to be customized for our roofline. My husband is keeping them just in case one day I get the whim to try again! Probably will not happen, but who knows!!!???<\/p>\n<p>Below are photos I hope you enjoy and find inspiration for your next holiday celebration! We also tried a few new recipes this year that I will post later.<\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_slider et_pb_slider_fullwidth_off et_pb_gallery_post_type\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slides\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec25-157.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec26-008b.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec26-020c.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec25-159.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec25-131.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec25-064.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec25-084.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec25-087.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec25-089.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec25-095.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/13dec25-140.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/13dec25-075.jpg);\"><\/div><div class=\"et_pb_slide\" style=\"background: url(https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/13dec25-043.jpg);\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<h4>See More of our Tablescapes:<\/h4>\n<p>You might also like <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/2013\/09\/03\/beach-themed-dinner\/\">Beach Themed Dinner<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/2013\/06\/26\/mexican-themed-dinner\/\">Mexican Themed Dinner<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/2013\/06\/17\/fathers-day-dinner\/\">Father&#8217;s Day<\/a>, and more of our <a href=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/category\/tablescapes\/\">Tablescapes<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Christmas tree to the table, everything was red and white polka dots, &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2778,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","__cvm_playback_settings":[],"__cvm_video_id":"","footnotes":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[66,120],"tags":[202,133],"class_list":["post-1922","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-christmas","category-tablescapes","tag-christmas","tag-tablescapes-3"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Christmas Tablescape - Sandi Herron - Life at Spring Meadows<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/christmas-tablescape-2013\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Christmas Tablescape - Sandi Herron - Life at Spring Meadows\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"From the Christmas tree to the table, everything was red and white polka dots, ...\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/christmas-tablescape-2013\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sandi Herron - Life at Spring Meadows\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2014-01-04T16:23:27+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2020-12-21T22:06:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/sandiherron.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/11\/13dec25-131-e1515262593764.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"960\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"350\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Sandi Herron.
