Star of
Hanukkah
Make a festive table the star of your holidays. Start with a white tablecloth,
topped with a square of Hanukkah print fabric, knotted at the corners
to avoid sewing. Set the table with white dinnerware, cobalt glasses and
blue napkins wrapped with silver-sprayed holly branches. As a final grace
note, add a small Hanukkah gift tied with a star garland to each place
setting and sprinkle the table with Hanukkah confetti. To make your own
Festival of Lights Centerpiece,
group silver dreidels and gold gelt around shimmering gold candles. Honor
Jewish history with a menu featuring cheese and dairy – luscious
Noodles Alfredo, a Star of David
Angel Food Cake (see recipe below) and creamy White
Nights Cocktails to toast tradition. Play A Taste of Chanukah
CD for ambiance.
