Candle Centerpiece: Candles are a classic way to set the mood at your dinner table, adding a lot of holiday cheer. Try grouping 15 or more pillar candles at varying heights on a plate or tray (or a piece of wood as it shows in the image above) in the center of the table. The wood in the image above adds some rusticity to the center arrangement. Use unscented candles at your table when food is being served, but place scented candles throughout your home to create a nice ambiance and set a holiday mood. Try scents of cinnamon, apple spice, pumpkin and even sandalwood.
