Make your home a haven from the sensory overload that inevitably accompanies the holiday season.

Start this week with a simple wreath, bow, or set of sleigh bells on the front door and a massed arrangement of candles…it is the firelight that brings us cheer.

Next week turn to the natural world with vases of evergreens, potted amaryllis, and a bowl of pomegranates or clove-studded citrus fruit.
