With Christmas only days away, holiday planning and budgets are on the minds of many. A lot of effort, thought and money go into planning a special dinner for family and friends. You also want your table to look nice and inviting but perhaps want something other than the typical display of flowers.

Professor Linda Santangelo-Mosley of County College of Morris shows how to create a centerpiece on a budget in the latest how-to video produced by the college’s Media Center.

In the video, Santangelo-Mosley, who teaches in the Hospitality Management and Culinary Arts department, explains how inexpensive items found at dollar and big-box stores can be transformed into a stunning centerpiece that is certain to draw attention.

The video is the third in a series of “How-To” videos featuring CCM faculty members offering their expertise. This new video, along with the others, can be found on the CCM website at www.ccm.edu/videos and on YouTube at http://tinyurl.com/b7e2q6y.
