A Rustic Christmas Eve/Hanukkah Table


Last year Christmas Eve and Hanukkah fell within a few days of each other, so our multi-denominational family was able to celebrate the two holidays together. The Seattle Stein family arrived in town just in time for our annual Christmas Eve crab extravaganza at Ricki's lovely Sea Cliff home. This rare religious coincidence allowed Ricki to pour her creativity into a table depicting the entire holiday season.


She combined winter greenery, berries and pine cones gathered in her San Francisco neighborhood, with elegantly arranged succulents and mosses spanning the length of the table. With flair she placed miniature wooden dreidels, horses, donkeys, ladders and other objects from her years of collecting.


          As usual, the tablecloth, napkins, china, glasses, silverware and serving pieces were perfection. Check out her beautiful  2018 Thanksgiving table Here and her Thanksgiving 2013 table  Here


I snapped photos from all angles before we assembled for dinner. Here you can see a miniature dreidel and goat

I can't wait to see this year's Christmas Eve table
