Merry Christmas! This morning the folks over at “1000 Awesome Things” have a post about the kid’s table. Our family dinners always had one down the end of the main dining room table where all the children would sit and slowly eat Turkey dinner. Some of the fondest memories I have about Christmas dinner were when I was at the kid’s table with a paper crown half-way down my face. From the article:

The Kids Table is where all the kids eat dinner at holiday family gatherings.

It’s generally a rickety card table from the basement pushed beside a yellow plastic one from the playroom that ends up turning Grandma’s hallway into an eat-in kitchen. Sometimes it’s two different heights, sometimes the chairs are broken, and usually the whole thing is covered in a plastic Christmas tablecloth freshly ripped from the dollar store cellophane.

No matter what though, The Kids Table a great place to find burps, laughs,and juice spills at a holiday meal. Everyone’s enjoying a warm evening with cousins decked out in their finest cableknit sweaters, rosy red cheeks, and massive bedhead.

So here’s to everyone who will be having Christmas dinner with family this year and remember those fortunate ones to be situated around the Table of Tables!!
