 HOLIDAY TABLE DECORATIONS

"Christmas Dinner"
  

   

"A basket containing gifts for each person present may ornament the center of the table, with a miniature Santa Claus. A narrow red ribbon terminating in a bow reaches from the basket to each plate. Banquet lamps, holly, roses and mistletoe favors will complete a very decorative arrangement. Small artificial Christmas trees are suitable for this dinner. Fairy lamps harmoniz­ing with the general color scheme might also be used to advantage."

FROM: The Delineator, 1903
