I don’t know what any of the guests will be eating since there’s no room to put bowls or plates of food on most of these tables. Hmm. Do the decorations all get removed before people actually eat? Hmm.

When I decorate the table like this, I place my food attractively on the bar and then everyone can pick up their plates from the table and make their selections at the bar. I also have added the plates to the bar to make it easier. Both ways work well. Hope your holidays are filled with joy and love!
