Christmas China

The day after Thanksgiving I would always help my grandmother replace her everyday dishes with her Spode Christmas dishes. She would use these for her everyday dishes during the holidays. I loved helping her do this, because it meant Christmas was almost here!



On the other hand, my mom has a Mikasa pattern that is more like China. We only use this for Christmas Eve dinner.



When I was picking out our china for our wedding, I thought long and hard about what to register for. I loved several different patterns. I narrowed it down to two. Lenox Dinnerware - Vintage Jewel Collection



and the other Vera Wang - Lace Gold.


The more I thought about it I went with the Vera Wang Lace Gold. I had in the back of my mind that I could use this as Christmas China as well as regular china. I loved the gold and ivory and thought with a pretty gold charger it would look perfect at Christmas. So for now, I am content with using my wedding china as Christmas china.

However, I am not making any promises that I won't want Christmas china in the future. Sorry Andy!
