Etiquette Dinner - The Christmas Table

Christmas is a special holiday to spend in the company of loved ones, family or friends. To spend this time in joy, tradition has it that the festivities will be honored around a table dressed up. Although there are no precise rules, here are some tips on appliances and decorating with style and simplicity.

start with the tablecloth. It 'should choose the classic red, white or green, or combine two colors like silver and blue or gold and blue, or red and gold. If we choose the plain tablecloth, put the towels which are in conflict. Tie the napkins with a ribbon in gold or silver as fitting a piece of fir tree branch and a small ball tree.

I can fold napkins shaped candle (fold a napkin into two imperfect half, diagonally, so that a triangle is smaller than the other; arrotoliamolo so that it can be inserted at a corner ' inside the other and so that the smaller triangle is outside) and place them next to the glasses or roll them into the glass.

decorations can be used without overloading the table with flowers, ornaments, candles. Sistemiamole in a few points, maybe the candles and flowers in the center. If you have time you can customize the table with items made by you. A centerpiece dedicated to this special day of celebration can be achieved with a sprig of fir, pine cone few golden leaves of holly tied together by ribbons. An idea that creates the atmosphere are the candles floating in a glass vase with pebbles on the bottom. If you want to put flowers in the middle of the table, take fresh ones. The placeholders are optional, but must be chosen according to style and colors of the table.

dishes are most suitable for classical China, with colorful placemats and matching the color of the tablecloth. The cutlery, instead of being aligned close to the plate, you can lay on it, tied together with ribbon in harmony with the basic colors that have chosen.

How to lay? The rules are few and precise. The plates must be positioned in an asymmetrical way, the forks go left and must be as many as the course. You can also later add the missing silverware, not to clutter up the table too. The knife goes right next to it, if there is a soup spoon goes. Next to the plate, from above the forks for fruit and a spoon for dessert. Arrange the cups with imagination, to align them avoiding each other. Mettetene how many wines, or, as the cutlery, you can add when needed. Serve beverages in pitchers.

Practical advice: pre-prepared bread and breadsticks in a pan. Red wine should be opened first, that white is better to open the last minute. Next to the table put the Parmesan cheese; glasses, cutlery and napkins if needed there was a need to replace them, the flutes or goblets for champagne.
