Canadians love to .party! Halhnark
surveyed party trends in Canada and learn-
ed'that'Canadians are entertaining at home
more than ever before.
Hallmark's party specialists have worked
with Alan Campaigns, one of Canada's
leading interior designers, to create easy
entertaining and decorating ideas.
"We've put together tips and suggestions
that can help change the ordinary into the
extraordinary with a minimlum of time and
effort," says Campaigne. "Have fun
creating your own very special holiday at-
mosphere."
1. What to do with all those Christmas
cards you receive? Try placing them on the
back of tree branches. You'll be surprised
how lovely and full your tree will look.
2. Don't limit yourself to trimming the
tree with just round ornaments. Hand-
crafted ornaments are `dated which allows
you-0to begin a family tradition of collecting
to cherish your Christmas memories. A
carefully placed little bird, hand -painted
porcelain doll or baby's first ornament will
add a touch of colour and drama elevating
the humble little Christmas tree to new
heights.
3. When entertaining, casual elegance is
now the new trend. Colour coordinate your
Christmas partyware to your rooms.
Whether you have traditional or contem-
porary tastes it is important to keep to a
central theme.

4. Why notmix- colorful pa rtyirare .with.
your own pottery, china or silver and turn
your table into a vibrant conversation piece.
5. Flowers, candles, place cards, and
napkins are just a few of those small little
extras that help make a good party into a
great one! Remember — it's the details that
count.
6. A centrepiece is an absolute must. Our
Christmas tables need a beautiful focal
point to set it apart. Whether it's the family
candelabra, or tiny gift wrapped, packages
in a basket, brighten your table with style
and a yuletide spirit.
7. Give a very personal gift by making
your cookies in Santa, reindeer, Christmas
tree or star shapes using cookie cutters.
Then decorate gaily, and package in -one of
the pretty Christmas Sit containers.
8. One of the most mexpensive ways of
remembering friends at a distance is still
the Christmas card. For only 34 cents, speed
a personal "hello" with a holiday greeting
card.
9. Christmas dining or coffee table cen-
trepieces are made easy and simple with
readymade candle rings of cones and
cranberries, poinsettias, pine and cedar
boughs. Place in the centre of the table, add
a one or three inch candle and voila -- a
wonderful and warm glow lights the room.
Store candle ,rings for next year and use
with a different colour of candle in a dif-
ferent place or way.
