You are able to turn Christmas on the present fairy tale, to celebrate a holiday, as at cinema, at perfectly decorated table even if you have no opportunity to fill it with expensive delicacies. It is possible to turn a usual dinner into Christmas by means of a ceremonial cloth, unusually put napkins, lovely fantastic figures, aromas and laying.
Instruction
1. If you decided to lay a table the same as it was done by our ancestors for Christmas, stock up with a small amount of hay. Spread out it on a table-top, and then cover it with a white cloth with a red embroidery. A white cloth - a symbol of purity and snow, scarlet – blood of Christ Redeemer born on light. Surely prepare a kolivo even if you not really love it. Put in small gilded or glasswares a little kolivo and establish in it the beautiful lit candle. This dish has to be in the center of a table.
2. If you aren't going to decorate a table in authentic style, then all the same pay attention to such element of a decor as candles. In shops now a good selection of candles - from classical to the most unusual. Put them in small candlesticks, it is good if they are from color crystal or glass that the flame was reflected in them. It is possible to use a big low vase instead of candlesticks. Fill it with water and let in swimming of several lit candles (such small aromatic candles are on sale in special metal supports). It is possible to put buds of flowers in water. They will draw attention to themselves with slow movement on a water surface and flame reflections in crystal. This fascinating show. In the room it is the best of all to muffle or switch off electric lighting during a dinner.
3. Put napkins in the form of wings of an angel and put on plates of each of guests. For this purpose you need a square napkin, tinsel or a red string, a figure of an angel (it can be both a Christmas decoration, and the angel who is cut out from a card). Put a napkin so that at you the triangle turned out. Now recede from the place of a bend to steam of centimeters and collect a part of a napkin by an accordion so that long sharp "ears" turned out. Connect them, and below tie up a napkin a thread, attach a figure of an angel.
4. It is obligatory even if you didn't buy a fir-tree for holidays, decorate a table with its branches, or thuja branches, having laid out from it similarity of a wreath. Decorate them with Christmas decorations and candles. If you have no fir-tree branches, then decorate a table with a plate with fennel and tomatoes-cheri which are laid out in the form of New Year's spheres, olives and olives.
5. Oranges can give a type of festive Christmas balls, having pierced their peel and having inserted carnation sticks, having decorated with a food foil.
