...sticks out of orange peels--yes, orange peels--not costly antique crystal. Few give credit to the stylemaker for her egalitarianism (in that spirit, one of her guests this year is the thinking man's proletarian, Dennis Franz, who swings by Martha's Connecticut home for a glass of punch). Throughout her holiday special Martha preaches cheap elegance, counseling us to wrap our gifts in inexpensive tulle and tissue paper, showing us how to make tree ornaments out of tin.
