It so happens that part of the population first celebrates the New Year and then celebrates Christmas.
The difference is not only in the calendar features, but also in the attitude towards the holiday, in the festive atmosphere and the setting of the festive table.
Yulia Tychino, an expert of the online publication "BelNovosti" in the field of design and interior, told how to effectively set the table for Christmas.
Vintage
You can organize such a festive ensemble using dishes and table linens left over from your grandmothers.
You can use Soviet dinnerware, crystal and vases, but the dishes must be from the same set, and the textiles must match in color.
Symbols of the holiday
It is not necessary to build a nativity scene on the table. You can complement the composition with an abundance of candles in candlesticks, pine branches in the company of tangerines, nuts, and pine cones.
Color
Now all that remains is to choose the color of the tablecloth. Traditionally, it is white. Polished crystal and cutlery will look gorgeous on a white background.
As for the color of the dishes, any color of dishes, even monochrome ones, look good on a white tablecloth.
You can also use the colors red and white or gold, as well as red and green.
Don't forget about textile napkins that match the tablecloth.
Don't forget about the aromas either. Traditionally, these are citrus fruits, star anise, and cinnamon sticks.
