The holiday season is a great time to make any home a bit more merry and bright. Most individuals let their personalities show through their home decor, and holiday decorating is just as personal as decorating throughout the rest of the year. When it comes to holiday hosting, attention also should be given to the dining tablewhich can bene t from a festive centerpiece.
Premade centerpieces are undeniably attractive, but adding a homespun touch can be a fun creative pursuit and become a family tradition. Explore these eight simple ideas to dress up your holiday table.
Frosted pine cones: Take advantage of a crisp winter's day to venture into a forest or park that is rich with evergreen trees. Gather pine cones from the forest oor and, if possible, a few evergreen boughs. Give the pine cones a touch of winter whimsy with a little faux snow in a can or even white paint. Nestle the boughs and pine cones into a wide-mouthed vase or bowl in the center of the table. Individual pine cones can later be turned into place cards for seating guests.
Holiday thanks: Cut many strips of paper roughly 6 inches in length from various colored pieces of paper to match the holiday theme.
When guests arrive, ask them to write a favorite holiday memory or two, or what they're thankful for. Twirl the paper strips
around a pencil to curl them, and then place the curlicues into a decorative bowl in the center of the table. Later in the evening, the host or hostess can read some of the sentiments.
Magical forest: Use green and silver conical party hats to turn a table or sideboard into a veritable evergreen forest. Arrange them on a blanket of faux snow or white confetti.
Freshly cut: Select attractive owers in vibrant holiday hues from a orist or even the supermarket oral section. Cut the stems and place them into an unusual display container, such as holiday themed mugs or a punch bowl.
Glass baubles: Who says ornaments should be exclusive to the tree? A crystal or glass cake stand can be transformed into an icy delight when topped with silver and clear glass ornaments.
Birch wood: The crisp white coloring of birch bark is right at home with holiday decor. Go stark with pieces of the cut wood in varying heights intermingled with white candles that mimic the shapes and scale of the wood.
Fruit and vegetables: If guests are coming over and the race is on for a fast centerpiece, look no further than the kitchen. Lemons, artichokes, pears, or pomegranates look festive in a bowl interspersed with some greenery and baby's breath.
Cornucopia: The horn of plenty can be customized to any holiday. Purchase a horn in wicker or woven grapevine and ll with owers, fruit and greenery, or even painted gourds or miniature pumpkins.
Holiday hosts and hostesses should not neglect the dining table when they decorate. Festive centerpieces can be handmade without much effort on the part of hosts

How are you, Mrs. Claus, and the reindeer doing? I hope you have a safe trip this year. This year I would like farm animals and barns for my farm, bakugans and beyblades, a hooverboard with a cart, and an Xbox. My new baby brother would like baby toys. I will make sure to leave cookies and milk for you and carrots for the reindeer.

Dear Santa, How has your year been? I’m sure to are very busy right now getting ready for Christmas. My name is Natalie Ann Roberts, I’ve been watching and listening to my family and know EXACTLY what they want for Christmas. My 2 yr. old sister, Reesie, has been trying really hard not taking my toys from me and running away with a big smile on her face. So I really think she deserves a real puppy with a sparkly bow. Mommy has been working day and night on her Masters and would like a princess dress with a pink bow to wear to her graduation. Daddy has been helping out so much keeping Reesie and me busy and quiet so Mommy can study so pease bring him his favorite superhero - I think maybe it’s Fido. I would really like a mermaid Barbie this year. Dress warm and you can expect cookies and reindeer food when you stop at my house. Love you Santa!

Dear Santa, Hi Santa! My mom says I’ve been good most of the year. My report card was good so that’s a plus! For Christmas I was hoping for some Stick Bots and a carnotorus dinosaur. I also like Bendy and the Ink Machine stuff. Thanks Santa!

He also wants a stuffed toy Santa.
Mason Timmerman, age 2 Cuba City, WI
Dear Santa, I think I’ve been seeing a couple of your reindeer at my window eating apples. They probably snuck out at night while you were busy getting ready for Christmas. My 1 yr. old brother, Calvin, wants to learn to be a deer hunter like me so I think a deer horn toy would be great for him. Daddy likes to play Hulk with me but he needs a Hulk mask please! Mommy is a night nurse so I think she wants a nurse Barbie and daytime sleepy dust. I love being outside, so any outside toy would be great for me. Ooops! Almost forgot that my baby sister will be arriving in March. Better bring her a pink sparkly bow and a rattle. Momma will make you cookies and I’ll get some corn at Taid’s for your reindeer. Thanks Santa! Love you.
