For yuletide gifts, consider fresh,
nutrient-packed grapes--
* Buy a unique basket made from
grapevines, fill it with bunches of
green, red and blue/black Califor-
nia grapes, and top it with a bright
holiday bow.
• Instead of filling children's
stockings with sugary candies, bag
bunches of grapes, tie them with
colorful ribbons, and watch kids
enjoy one of their favorite snacks.
When it comes to decking ~our
halls, bunches of grapes are the
perfect accent to arrangements of
natural garlands, fresh fruits and
vegetables-
*Use bunches of multicolor
grapes to make spectacular--and
edible--centerpieces. Your family
members and guests will appreci-
ate having delicious, low-calorie
snacks available after eating fat-
tening holiday goodies.
Grapes are also great comple-
ments to recipes and make colorful,

• Serve fresh, sweet grapes with
a fruit and cheese platter.
• Toss together a fruit salad made
from green, red and blue/black grape
varieties.

be maintaining a holiday tradition.
In many Eastern cities where Euro-
pean traditions are still practiced,
fall grapes, with their reddish and
often purplish color, are important
for both Christian and Jewish cel-
ebrations.
This year, start your own Christ-
mas tradition--instead of leaving
cookies for Santa, leave a nutritious
bunch of California table grapes.
