Decorative game
Here's a five-minute decorating trick anyone can pull off: take a few handfuls of colourful dreidels and chocolate gelt (coins), toss them in a glass bowl or vase, and place in the centre of the festive table or on a mantelpiece. Bonus: They make great gifts for guests and keep kids entertained during the festive dinner!
