"Hi, I'm Stephanie Barnett. On behalf of Expert Village, I'm here to show you how to make this gorgeous Christmas table for your Christmas dinner. So now I want to place my napkins again, I have not ironed these. It's Christmas morning, I don't have time for this. Actually it's like lunch time, people are coming at three for dinner. So you don't need to iron them cause you put them in the beautiful napkin holder and they are just so lovely. I would put these on the inside of the knife so just put those through and also you need to put out your place cards to decide where everyone is going to go. So our little name tag we made, we get our place card holders, we just put that right in and put that right there and everyone would now where they are sitting. Also, this is the time to put out the salt and pepper. This year I think I would like to put out my little pagoda salt and pepper shakers. They're really kind of cute, festive and they add a little bit of unexpectedness to the table."
