Cloth napkins are a must at your Christmas dinner table.  Besides being “green”, they afford a great way to accent your table, and they last throughout the meal all the way to dessert.  And if you use a napkin ring you can place it in the middle of the plate which actually adds several inches to your table if you are squeezing in “just one more”.
