Style in seconds
Easy touches get your table sparkling faster than you can say “pour me more eggnog.”

- New details don’t always mean buying the latest trends. Place runners crosswise on the table, for example, instead of down the length, or attach personalized labels to store-bought Christmas crackers.
- Choose simple floral touches that are widely available this time of year. Invest in berries and flowers that have a long life (and can be bought in advance!), and splurge on powerful blossoms, like the orchids here, to make a big impact.
Party all night
Trust in all your planning to let the night run smoothly — and make sure you get to enjoy the festivities too!
- Have lots of extra provisions on hand: logs for the fire, bottled water, candles galore and an assortment of CDs; let guests help themselves.
- Many hands make light work. Enlist help for the clean-up so you’re not stuck in the kitchen all night.
- Remember that guests are interested in seeing you, not just your decorating. It’s okay if everything’s not perfect.
