"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. Your table is almost ready to go. We have lovely little gifts out and crackers, glassware. What are we missing? Some fabulous lighting. I don't like to just use my over head lighting I like to have candles on my table. I have some beautiful candle loggers at home, several different kinds; this is my shortest logger though. I place it just right here it just seems a bit big on my table it's taller than my flowers, it's taller than my glassware. If I put some fresh candles in, it's really going to be tall I think it's going to be to tall for this table. I also have cut little Chinese cups that I turned into candle holders and I just put a little votive candle inside and these are perfect for my table. They go with my little unexpected pagodas they got little dragons on them and they just add a little bit of unexpectedness and some great lighting. So put these around your centerpiece keep the low don't put them next to any paper good that you have on the table cause you don't want the cable catching on fire. Then light them just before the guest sit down for dinner and it will add a lovely atmosphere to your table."
