INVITE the spirits of holidays past, present and future into your home this year. Blend the best of then and now, here and there, and try a few twists on tradition.

For instance, deck the halls with a theme in mind. Go Victorian with lots of rich velvet and satin fabric on table and windowsills. Fresh fruit was a novelty in winter in the 19th century so plenty of apples, oranges and pineapples, real or not, can add to the old-fashioned appeal. Alternatively, go futuristic with plenty of white lights, stark outlines and tons of tinsel.
