o' z i, LJ: Ham Meals Inspire Elegant Tablescapes: an elegant alternative & Easy Holiday Entertaining to setting the holiday table , Make the centerpiece interactive,as children are likely to gather around the table. A holiday cookie jar or non- breakable holiday figurines are fun fi)r little hands. • Use decorative functional table- ware such as a holiday bowl or serving platter as the center of an arrangement on a table or butTet. • A tablescape can be as simple as a grouping of eclectic candlesticks, all tied with festive holiday bows. • If you don't want toinvest in a full set of holiday china, purchase a few larger pieces, such as platters or bowls, and pair with white dishes. Accdssorize with holiday linens, can- dles and napkin holders. • Complete your tablescape with green- cry and berries, teacup poinsettias and lit candles. For more tips on holiday decorating, consumers can receive a free brochure by sending a postcard with a mailing address to "Enesco Home for the Holi- days," P.O. Box 9569, Downers Grove, IL 60515 or by logging onto www.enesco.com. For many people, holiday decorat- ing means a well-dressed Christmas tree inside and twinkling lights and a wreath outside. Unfortunately, one area that receives a great deal of use during the holidays is often overlooked -- the table top. Despite an increased number of par- ties, family dinners and informal gath- erings with friends, decorating the din- ing room table for the holidays often means using a lone poinsettia center- piece. While lovely, there are easy alternatives to make a table top more exciting and interesting -- without spending too much time or money. The home decor experts at Enesco Home Gallery, a leader in the home accents industry, suggest creating a  "tablescape," an arrangement that combines several coordinating objects, such as candles, florals, china, and linens.  "After the Christmas tree, important .! focal points of a room include the i dining room table, mantel and coffee table because they are traditionally  gathering places during the holidays," ; says Kathy Cook, home decor expert ' for Enesco Home Gallery. "These are !,. perfect places to create a tablescape.  "Although tablescapes are easy to ] arrange, they take a bit of planning, she adds. "First, decide what theme you'd like to create, whether it's  snowy, natural or whimsical, for ex- ample. Then find objects to feature on the tablescape that work well with your theme. Enesco Home Gallery offers many unique products, from  dinnerware to decorative accents, which can be easily incorporated into , a tablescape." Cook offers the following advice for , arranging a beautiful tablescape: • Feature your favorite holiday collec- tion on a table or mantel for family and friends to enjoy when gathered during the holidays. The first Christmas tree was probably of German origin, created by Boniface, an English misalonary to Germany. He created the Christ tree to replace the pagan custom of a sacred tree dedicated to the Norse god Odin.
