generation, a ritual which evokes precious
memories. Different effects can be achieved'
by using all one color lights or bows and
flocking the tree with "snow". •
For a small space, a live holly tree
planted in a basket, trimmed with tiny white
lights, is a stunning spectacle! Or make a
miniaturetree by pushing sprigs .of
greenery into a cone-shaped foam base and
trim with small ornaments.
Candles & Oil Lamps:. Mood• setting, soft
candle and lamplight creates an intimate
and gracious atmosphere! Group 'candles

fire by nestling several large red candles of
varying heightsas a centrepiece. Another

pensively is to put water, oil and a wick in
wide juice grasses and place sparkle

with garlands of green around door and on
