Just a Touch of Christmas!

I am sure you are familiar with the phrase "less is more". I just don't like a lot of stuff in one place, especially when it comes to Christmas decorations. Clutter drives me nuts!  My students know it too, and I have them trained to keep my room organized! (That's a good thing)
To put just a touch of Christmas in my breakfast room, I placed some red apples in front of my tea cups.I just didn't want to add a lot of "cutesy" decorations.   Since my cabinet is black, it needed a little punch of color.  What do you think?  I'm open for suggestions.
