Add small boughs of evergreen or holly. • Use decorative ribbon to create a colorful design. • Show off antique needlework or handkerchiefs without running the risk of getting it ruined. • Using tiny strung beads, spell out "Merry Christmas" or another holiday greeting. If you have another language in your heritage, you may like to add it as well.
