A Simple Christmas Table

I may be slightly addicted to folding German Christmas stars made of paper. The love for paper started when I was a little girl and has never left me. Folding paper to me is the ultimate satisfaction besides printing something I created on a sheet of luxury stock.

The arrangement is easy to assemble. Use a few sprigs of winter greens and tie the ends to a flat bunch. If you have use tree candle holders and real candles. Otherwise just use a string of battery powered small lights. Then decorate the creation with ornaments you have in your Christmas chest.

The table was covered with a gray table cloth. It was actually a flat bed sheet we have no use for otherwise. Black napkins were rolled up and tied with a thin velvet ribbon.

Klaus cooked a wonderful meal… same procedure as every year… bliss.

For dessert we had German tree cake. Each layer was baked on its own and then stacked to make it look like a tree trunk.
