f there’s one time in the year when you
can really go to town with tablescaping,
IChristmas is surely it. It’s all part of the
tradition and excitement that stretches from
Christmas Eve dinner to New Year’s Eve, with
the mighty Christmas Day dinner itself in
between. What you put on the table should
match what you’ll be serving and set the scene
for sharing a special moment.
Whether you’re hosting a big group or
arranging a smaller, more intimate feast, there
are easy ways to impress. Mixing and matching
tableware is fun for place settings – just keep to
a common theme to create a rhythm in the mix
up of plates and glasses.
