As I see it, one of the truths of the holiday season is that people seem compelled to throw fancy parties. We invite people into our homes--friends, family, neighbors, co-workers--people for whom we wouldn't make any extra effort any other time of the year but at Christmas-time we dress up for them. We make them roasts. We serve them expensive wines and fancy appetizers. The more confident among us attempt complicated desserts, the rest of us go to the bakery. China that was stored away on January 2 is dusted off and makes its annual appearance at the end of November. We chat for a few hours, reminisce, catch-up and them send them on their merry way, fat and happy. If we are going to host these expensive shin-digs, then what better way could there be to protect the wood of your credenza while they're going on than with a winter-themed Boston Red Sox table runner?
