Collage by Gemma Wiseman ~ These Christmas table mats I first used when my children were young.
That is about 30 years ago.
The poinsettia featured in the bottom mat is a common Christmas symbol in Australia.
Many shops sell living poinsettias as a Christmas gift!

Merry Christmas, Gemma. Sorry I have been in absentia this past month but hope to be back up and online. after Christmas. I adore your 30 year old place mats. They remind me of my childhood in Florida. Take care and stay well. Hugs...Genie
I like those old crocheted table mats! Merry Christmas!
Your poinsettias and mats are very pretty. Merry Christmas to you and your family!
A good table cloth lasts a long time. I was telling my daughter my tablecloth came from Oz. My sis-in-law gave it to me twenty years ago.
Merry Christmas.
I love family Christmas traditions! Your place mats are lovely! Poinsettias are a beautiful symbol of Christmas.
