According to tradition, the Christmas Eve table was covered for centuries with a simple white tablecloth, under which a little hay was placed. Where did this custom come from? The hay and the modest, unadorned tablecloth were meant to symbolize the poverty and simplicity of the stable where Jesus was born. In many Polish homes, this is still done today, although in recent years, we are increasingly deciding to break the white with various colorful additions.

If you're wondering how to decorate the table for Christmas, start with the basics – the tablecloth or runner is the key element. It can be white, but Christmas tables decorated with embroidered tablecloths or festive prints also look very effective.

A tablecloth protects the table from damage and is a beautiful background for tableware. For Christmas Eve, it's worth choosing a tablecloth that is a decoration in itself. It's the simplest and cheapest way to turn an ordinary dinner into a festive feast.

If Christmas is a time of carefree fun and a return to childhood for you, decorate the table with a tablecloth with festive motifs: reindeer, stars, and Christmas trees will cheer up your guests and bring a relaxed atmosphere to your dining room. If Christmas Eve at your home is an elegant and somewhat formal dinner, opt for the discreet charm of white shimmering with silver or gold.

When placing candles and lights on the Christmas Eve table, remember a few rules:

• Safety: candles and lights should be placed in such a way that they do not pose a fire hazard. Care should be taken to ensure that candles are not near flammable materials, such as tablecloths or napkins.
• Aesthetics: lights should be arranged aesthetically. Avoid overloading the table with decorations. It is also worth paying attention to whether the colors and shapes of the decorations match the style of the table.

Here are some specific ideas for arranging candles and lights on the Christmas Eve table:

• Candles in candle holders: place a large candle holder with a white or gold candle in the center of the table. Arrange smaller candle holders with smaller candles around the candle holder.
• Centerpieces with candles: place several centerpieces made of spruce, fir, or pine branches on the table. Place candles of different colors in the centerpieces.
• Lights: hang white or gold lights on the table. Lights can also be hung on the Christmas tree or other decorative elements.

Regardless of the method you choose for placing candles and lights, remember to make the Christmas Eve table look warm and festive.
