"Je Suis Prest" - Christmas

Based on the clan motto "Je Suis Prest", which is old French for "I am ready".
I decided to add the tartan from the towel (which is actually a polar blanket) and the clay from rustic Portuguese crockery. I think that the set itself was quite interesting and everyone enjoyed having dinner by dim candlelight. The Christmas tree was decorated with wooden crests, with the "Je Suis Perst" symbol, the pendants are styrofoam balls lined with tartan flannel fabric, and the ribbons are chess ribbons, bought at a local haberdashery.
