Jingle Runner: Cut holly leaves from dark and light green card stock. Use a bone folder or wooden skewer to indent veins in leaves, then trace indents with a green colored pencil. Run down the center of the table and lay red jingle bells ($7 for 20; amazon .com) throughout.

Attach small diecut holly leaves and berries ($10; amazon.com) to a red-and-white paper straw with a dab of hot glue.
