A Christmas Centerpiece Your Friends Are Going To Love on Shoestring Budget

 Hello Friends, Welcome! Are you enjoying the Most Wonderful Time of the Year?! I truly am, and I'm sure feeling grateful for so many things this year, and yet, praying for so much relief for so many, as well. If you are joining me from Katherine's Blog Tour, thank you for continuing the tour from Simple Nature Décor blog.

 I was honored and humbled when Katherine asked me to join this incredible group of ladies. If you follow me at all, whether on Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram, or right here, you know that I LOVE Christmas!

(This is the teaser image I sent Katherine. God Bless her for letting me join along with just this to show!)

 I'm talking Christmas in July Countdown, bought and where the Hallmark Movies shirts and Mugs! "I'd rather be sipping hot chocolate and watching the Hallmark Christmas Countdown, than..." more than most people I know...So, the idea of fitting Christmas on a tray was almost laughable, but I decided I could put some Christmas on a Tray! 

Katherine is a blogger extraordinaire!  She set everything up for all 12 of us bloggers, I just attempt to follow her beautiful lead.( I fall, woefully, short.  Just look at all the fabulous ideas!

I think when we decorate for Christmas, it is such a personal thing, so also exciting to see what others do.  At least for me, I try and gather those things that say Christmas to me and arrange them in an aesthetically appealing arrangement. Shouldn't be too difficult. right?

So, it's a bit of what speaks to your heart. Here's a little bit of what I've been enjoying this Christmastime. 

I know many of you call these little guys Gnomes, and I see them sold that way, but I was first introduced to them by the name Nisse and I just love them! I have more than a few of these little sweeties around the house.  Of course, they had to be included!

This little sweetheart was originally an ornament with skis and ski polls on, but I quickly ridded him of those and he's been popping up in many of my Holiday decorations.

This sweet little tree was $3.99 from Trader Joe's, I simply added some Christmas floral picks and wrapped it in a festive Christmas napkin! My Mum gave me this cute little white sleigh, some candy canes hanging of the back and he's just perfect next to my "tray"

I say "tray" this way because it's actually not a tray at all! I loved all the tiered trays I saw decorated for Christmas, but alas I did not have one, nor was it in my current budget, but I really think this dollar store buffalo plaid charger on top of my cookie tin does just the right trick for the look I was wanting. What do you think?

A pretty little green and red poinsettias, a few berry wreaths, some bottle brush Christmas trees, and a snowman all speak Christmas to me, I just happen to get lucky with my fun and festive buffalo plaid Cocoa Cup! 

This cute little sign just seemed to complete the look for me.

Altogether, I'm feeling abundantly Blessed and enjoying all that the Season represents. Grateful to celebrate the birth of Our Lord, "Mighty God, Wonderful Counselor, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace"Isaiah 9:6  

Thank you so much for joining me!! Please continue the Christmas on a Tray blog tour by hopping over to Celebrate and Decorate

Many blessings to you, friends, for a very happy, healthy Christmas season. I hope you find much Joy in the simple things. The greatest joy we get doesn't really come from things after all, does it. ❤️
