Cookie decorating day leaves icing sugar and sprinkles everywhere, which is one argument for putting something washable over the table before the children sit down. The print keeps to classic red, green and white, with gingerbread men in Santa hats among candy canes, holly berries, snowflakes and small trees. It runs 73 inches by 13, so a six seat table takes it end to end.

Gingerbread Men In Santa Hats

Of the two ways to do a Christmas table, formal and cheerful, this one is firmly cheerful. The gingerbread faces are drawn to be read by a four year old across the table, and the red and green around them is the version of the holiday children already recognize from books. Adults get a table that still looks deliberate rather than improvised.

Between Hot Dish And Wood

A casserole straight from the oven leaves a ring on a bare table, and a dropped fork scratches it. The runner takes both, acting as the layer between the serving dishes and the wood underneath. Crumbs and drink splatter land on fabric that goes in the wash instead of on a surface that needs polishing. On a rented or borrowed table that matters even more.

Wrinkles Out Of The Box

Polyester of this weight comes out of storage with soft creases rather than hard folds, and those drop out within an hour of being laid flat. No ironing is needed before guests arrive, which is usually when the runner gets found. Color survives repeated seasons, so December after December it goes back on the table instead of being replaced along with the crackers.

Cocoa Station On The Counter

Not all of December happens at the dining table. Laid along a kitchen counter the runner marks out the cocoa and cookie station, and on a buffet or console it sits under the punch bowl and the stack of napkins. Covered patio tables work for an outdoor gathering in mild weather. Rolled rather than bunched, it moves from one surface to the next during the same party.
