Holiday Table Decorations and Gifts

People often put small holiday presents on the table for guests to admire before a holiday meal. Germans put gingerbread cookies in stockings next to the knives. Californians place decorative poppers filled with mystery gifts in the center of the plate. Small trinkets are hidden inside napkin rings and tiny colored boxes fill butter plates. These are funny, messy and add a sense of joy to the festivities. These birdhouses are great examples of holiday themed boxes.

Now you want to eat, so where do you put the gift and wrapper after you open them?
