Lititz Christmas
Candlelight Tour
CONNIE BUCKWALTER
Special To
Lancaster Farming
LITITZ (Lancaster Co.)
Upon setting foot inside various
homes on the Lititz Woman’s
Club’s Christmas Candlelight
tour, die sights and sounds of the
season will invigorate the senses.
In addition to being decorated
for the holiday season, several of
the homes on the tour will feature
live musical entertainment to make
the Saturday afternoon experience
a complete delight.
“It’s very pleasant to walk into a
home and have live music play
ing,” said Maty Ann Garrett of the
Lititz Woman’s Club.
Garrett has coordinated the
musicians that will volunteer their
trine and talents to play during the
tour. Although the club has had
musicians play in the homes in pre
vious years, this is the first time in
several yean that the club has
decided to try it again.
“We decided to add music
because we wanted to focus on
adding another direction to
enhance the whole tour experi
cncc,” Garrett said.
Featured homes include:
Mary Ann Garrett, LltKz Woman’s Club member, prac
tices a piece of music she will play in one of the homes on
the Woman’s Club's ninth annual tour of homes on Dec. 11.
Tips For A Terrific Table
(NAPS) When the holidays
arrive, entertaining takes on a spe
cial flair. No longer are simple
candlesticks enough to bejewel
your table. Your goal now is to
make your table, and the food you
present on it, as festive as the holi
day season itself.
Fresh grapes can help you reach
that goal. A simple cluster of fiesh
grapes makes an instant and taste
ful garnish for almost any dish.
The same cluster laid artfully at
the bottom of your tried and true
candlesticks with a bit of ribbon,
or draped dramatically with others
of its kind over the edge of a silver
bowl makes a smashing
centerpiece.
Another stunning idea is easily
created by a mixture of things you
already have on hand, plus items
easily (and inexpensively) pur
chased at your local grocery and
craft stores. Try wrapping or
painting a sturdy box and arrang
ing it with a grapevine wreath,
several boughs of cedar, a ribbon
tied in a bow and several clusters
of naturally decorative grapes.
Or, try the caterer’s decorating
trick for the seasons: create Frosty
Holiday Grapes. It takes just a few

minutes to dip small clusters of
fresh grapes into a mixture of
sugar and gelatin and in no time
you have both a garnish and a light
dessert.
Fresh grapes are a natural for
many home-crafted holiday
decorations.
The reason is twofold: Not only
are clusters of fresh grapes decor
ative in and of themselves, but
most grape varieties are available
during the holidays from
Thanksgiving all the way through
the New Year. Whether you coat
them with sugar for a plate decora
tion, or place them in their natural
state in a centerpiece, the elegance
is there, courtesy of Mother
Nature.
