"We have a traditional holiday table, then we have a kids table thats ready for an ice cream party and a wintery silver table."
Our traditional holiday table may be red green but has a splash of golden wine.
"It's beautiful, I love the gold."
Favors, place cards, napkin rings, even spruced up seats make it fun and interesting!
