HRISTMAS in the home usual­ ly means festive decorating. Somehow it is dillicull to cele­


brate this special time without the embellishments that now normally go


with it. How you go about the decorating, and


what it costs, depends very much on how you and your family sec the exercise. If you go the whole hog, decorate the


place up to the nines and then burn the lot ritually on Twelfth Night, it will cost a


veritable fortune every year. Much better, therefore, to take the


baubles down carefully and bring them out, year after year, adding to your col­ lection as time. Finances and inclination


allow. There is a1 wealth of decorating mate­


rials costing from pence to pounds in the shops just now.


Decorations range from tiny springs of r


plastic holly for the Christmas cake to enormous fake Christmas trees that look so real you could be forgiven for trying


to plant them out for next year! In fact, the simplest things probably


make for the most spectacular displays.


Natural greenery, decorated bare boughs, flowers and pot plants, fruit and nuts, suitably presented, take a lot ol beating. Add these to a little ingenuity, a spot ol invention, a vivid imagination, and you will have a home dressed to kill, and it will hardly cost more than a pound or


Decorate to a theme lor best results. Take a colour or shape and build your


decorating theme round it. Fans, for example, can look stunning


standing upright along the edge ol a shelf, especially if they are linked by bows and ribbons or bright tinsel gai-


Baskcts can be another theme, liny


wicker creations, filled with seasonally coloured flowers or fruit and hung in groups from corners, light lutings or in front of a window can look quite spcctac-

DECORATING the Christmas tree is one of the


displays on a saucer with the candle and other deco­


rations set in an oasis. Decorations can include


sprigs of holly or pine, artificial or dried lloweis


and the odd ribbon. Assembled round the


base of the candle so both oasis and saucer are con­ cealed. they look profes­ sional and expensive, as


well as attractive. In all your displays, do


not overlook the uselul- ness of pine cones, grass­ es, bare branches and even


drift wood. Do be careful about


lighting candles though. Never light them if they are part of an inflammable set-piece decoration oi dis­

ART of dressing the house includes dressing the festive


table. Be wise, unless il is just you and your partnei, go for paper tablecloth and napkins. While looks lovely, but there is a whole spectrum of colours to choose from, either plain or printed with Iestive


motifs. Make a colourful centrepiece cither with candles, fruit or a combi­ nation of both and youi table will set the scene for the very best Christmas I dinner ever.What is more, there will be no linen to launder when it is all over, and one less job to do l should be good news!
