I don't know why, but 'Christmas table' has really tickled me.

RedPencils · 20/12/2013 22:04

Me too.
I'm red, gold and green and have silver crackers. And they're enormous. One of the prizes is a chess set ffs.

I bought them in November as well so I can't say I got swept away with the Christmas madness.

My table is cream and gold. My sister has been told to being gold crackers or christmas will be over.

Christmas tables are important!

You just need to go out and buy more silver for your table. Shopping opportunity. What's not to like?

Well I'm glad you see the funny side of my christmas table, it's a plain ol' table every other day but at christmas it's a christmas table and you might not have noticed but I have got a frigging disaster here, what with my silver crackers, and you're tickled? What happened to solidarity and sympathy on MN?

You just put gold ribbon round them and they will look fab

Silver and gold go really well together .

Dead fash.

My crackers have clockwork penguins within. I don't understand themes and tasteful stuff.

I thought you meant, like, sterling silver - I was thinking super posh monogrammed ones that play an aria when pulled.

Plain ole paper ones - just buy the same number of gold ones to put next to them, as though you were trying for an effect.

I took a gamble and put the red paper tablecloth on today. DD has spilt a bit of beans on it. Christmas is ruined.

AShowerOfBastards · 20/12/2013 22:13

Karma Chameleon table has made me genuinely laugh out loud Grin

But yes, OP, Christmas is most definitely ruined.

RedPencils · 20/12/2013 22:13

I'll be Grin at my karma chameleon table on Christmas Day now.

MinesAPintOfTea · 20/12/2013 22:14

The crackers match the cutlery. Simple Xmas Grin

OMG the cutlery! why don't I have gold cutlery? (does anyone have gold cutlery), and I thought the silver crackers were a disaster.....

OP posts:
Creamycoolerwithcream · 20/12/2013 22:15

You could buy a new table cloth, napkins etc to match the crackers.

SantasLittleMonkeyButler · 20/12/2013 22:16

Me too! My Christmas table will be red & gold (as always) and I have bought silver & purple crackers!

God knows why!
