And making the <strong>table <\/strong>a welcoming place for guests to linger is just as important as the food. Well, daunting as it seems, arranging the perfect Christmas table couldn\u2019t be easier \u2026 Your <strong>table decorations<\/strong> don\u2019t have to be fancy or elaborate and you don\u2019t have to spend a fortune<\/p>\n<p><strong>GET INSPIRED<\/strong><br \/>\nCreating a table with the wow factor sets the tone for the entire Christmas dinner. Your guests know instantly it\u2019s somewhere they want to spend time and will have fun.<br \/>\nProducing that magical feel is surprisingly simple.<br \/>\nYour table decorations don\u2019t have to be fancy or elaborate. And you certainly don\u2019t have to spend a fortune.<br \/>\nJust allow your creative juices to flow. Most of us are more creative than we give ourselves credit for.<br \/>\nStart with one key element. Do you want to use the beautiful red table cloth Grandma gave you?<br \/>\nHave a set of colourful crackers taken your fancy? Build your colour theme from there with matching napkins or candles.<\/p>\n<p><strong>DECORATING THE TABLE IS FUN<\/strong><br \/>\nLaying the table for Christmas lunch can be as much fun as decorating the tree. Think how you can involve your family or any guests who have stayed overnight. Give everyone jobs.<br \/>\nGet the children to write place settings. If you have glittery pens all the better. You might even trust them to decide where everyone sits \u2013 although be prepared for some surprises. Ask them to scatter the decorations and arrange the napkins. If an adult has time, they can show them how to make swans or fans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>INVOLVE THE FAMILY<\/strong><br \/>\nYou want everyone to know that the table\u2019s going to be the backdrop for their day, not just the place to gobble down lunch. Young children often find it hard to sit for long. When guests arrive, encourage them to show them the table they\u2019ve helped decorate. If young children feel more involved, they\u2019ll be happier to spend time there later.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/femail\/article-1235541\/How--Set-perfect-Christmas-table.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">dailymail.co.uk<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Target Point, Italian Ideas<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We all want to enjoy Christmas lunch.
