 HOLIDAY TABLE DECORATIONS

"Christmas Snowball Dinner for Children"
  

   

"Cover a hollow glass globe with cotton batting, set it in a holly wreath; place inside a pretty gift for each child, attached to scarlet and white satin ribbon; fill the opening with holly or mistletoe; the five-pointed silver-gilt star has scarlet candy rose with wax candles at each plate; light them on the distribution of gifts, each child drawing by his own ribbon. The dinner will be much better appreciated by the children if baby dishes are used."

FROM: The Delineator, 1903
