Christmas dinner is all about gathering with family and friends. Here are 9 DIY Christmas table and centerpiece ideas for the holidays.

I know we are talking about Christmas right now, but I just found out I’m hosting Thanksgiving this year.

Yikes.

Just between us? My Thanksgiving track record isn’t that great.

Remember when I bought a 10-pound turkey for 20 people and handed out tablespoons of turkey meat to everyone?

I’m working out the menu and planning on a much bigger turkey, but my real plan? It’s to distract them with the most beautiful table ever.

So today I’m sharing all the Christmas table and centerpiece ideas.

And in amazing news?

You can use so many of these ideas for Thanksgiving, too.
