by Cindi Sutter, Founder & Editor Spirited Table®

Welcome to our Christmas Virtual Supper Club! Looking forward to Christmas?!?...is a short read on love, Christmas traditions, and life. If you need a Christmas template for bookclub success, check out A Cup of Christmas Tea. Re-think Your Holidays, think of this one as an attitude adjustment period.

Let’s begin with the table and the presents you still need to wrap. I offer you a way in which to engage the whole family in creating new memories and traditions. Why Traditions Matter + Create your very own version of a Winter Greens Woodland Planter + Winter Greens Wrapping Paper + The Gifts of Advent.

I still love going to the mailbox and discovering some new Christmas card or gift treasures to open. Christmas Card Cheer uncovers the way I like to display the cards, so we can read them more than once. Christmas Hit Parade #1 includes ways in which to deal with piled-up Christmas cards, stockings, gift-wrapping tips, and so much more cheer! + 11 Mini Tips to Thrive, not just Survive "The Season!" + Mid-Week Peace + Last Minute Gift Wrapping.


If you’re a bit behind the Christmas tree 8 balls, Selecting a Christmas Tree + Holiday Christmas Tree Style will inspire you to get started. Create new traditions with your kids; like…Christmas Traditions + Christmas Lilies Orchids Roses and Berries + Christmas Floral Arrangements + Red-Gold-Green Christmas Flowers + Gingerbread Candy Canes and Flowers + Star Light, Star Bright.

Need some interactive games to keep your family and friends occupied? Here is Brownielock's Christmas Carols & Songs Crossword Puzzle, which is based on knowing the lyrics to popular Christmas songs and carols.

Tonight we celebrate the Spirit of St. Nick, but don't miss the magic of the God/Man in the Manger with…No Need To Break With Traditions When You Can Bend Them + Merry Christmas + A Simple Search For A Nativity + Powerful Prayers by Larry King + Presbyterian Back Story + A Swedish Christmas + Hanukkah Survival Guide.





Sides…what does that really mean? Actually, it means entremets, which is a dish that is served with but is subordinate to, the main course. So… here are a few sides for Christmas that I like. Cindi's Turkey Dressing + Brussels Sprouts with Bacon Jam + Cider, Bacon, and Golden Raisin Stuffing + No-cook Holiday Cranberry Sauce + White Castle Holiday Stuffing + Cornbread Stuffing Muffins with Apples & Bacon + Thai Coconut Sweet Potatoes.



Now it’s time for my favorite category…Dessert! Today I’m sharing Missing My Christmas Dessert Party which includes a dessert party template for success. And yes, we all hope that it comes in handy at some point, even if it’s a scaled-down version with your closest clan.

Fat Ladies + Cindi's Chocolate Nuggets + Peppermint Pretzels + Peppermint Meringues + Lollipop Christmas Trees (for kids) + The Candy Train  + Chocolate Covered Clementines + Lemon-Raspberry Panna Cotta.



Yes, it’s been a long 2020, but let’s not allow ourselves to lose the joy of this most sacred season. Hopefully, this guide for your food, drink, traditions, and inspiration will ease your stress. Gather if it’s safe for you, and raise a glass to 2021. From our team at Spirited Table, we wish you the blessing and joy of the season!
