The Head of the Table: Leadership and Responsibility
Traditionally, the head of the table is reserved for the host or the eldest family member. It symbolizes leadership, responsibility, and sometimes authority.
Sitting at the head of the table often means:
You’re ensuring everyone is comfortable.
You’re watching the plates, the drinks, the flow of the meal.
In many households, especially during holidays or large family dinners, the person at the head of the table sets the tone. If they are warm and open, the table feels safe. If they are tense or distracted, the mood shifts instantly.
The Middle Seats: The Connectors
The middle of the table is where energy flows. It’s where conversations overlap. It’s where laughter travels back and forth.
