The housewife who doesn't like to decorate the Christmas evergreen tree too soon before Christmas Eve can still achieve a holiday atmosphere by setting set-ting up a hospitality tree several days before the holiday. The holiday tree is a well-shaped, leafless branch which is liberally decorated with cookies, candies, and all sorts of holiday goodies. A building block, cov- ered with bright wrapping paper, makes an ideal base. Homemade or store-bought cookies and goodies good-ies are placed like ornaments on the "tree." In order not to have guests con sider the holiday tree merely an ornament, a gaily decorated sign may offer greetings of the season and invite guests to help themselves.
