Rebecca Udall Christmas

The Christmas table is where so much of the season happens, from long lunches with family to late suppers with friends. Set it with hand-painted crockery, hand-blown glassware, linen tablecloths and candlelight.

 Dressing the home for Christmas is about bringing a little magic into every room. Hang baubles from door handles and cupboard knobs, line the fireplace with stockings and leave a sack at the foot of the bed waiting to be filled.
