"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. As a good host or hostess it's really great to have little gifts and little surprises on the table for your guests. At Christmas one really great thing is a Christmas cracker. These are filled with a little paper hat, a joke, a little toy or something special and you just take them with your neighbor and you each hold it in and pull. They make a loud popping noise and all the gifts come tumbling out and everyone could wear their paper hats and it's very fun. So I like to put a little Christmas cracker at the top of everyones place settings. You also might want to have little bags of cookies or candies or even a little special gift at everyone's place just to make them feel very special for the holidays. You can even coordinate your wrapping paper to match your table as I had done here."
