Ever since we’ve had children, we’ve had a tradition of
having Christmas breakfast at our house with all the grandparents and immediate
family – my in-laws, my mom, my dad and his girlfriend, my brother (and his
girlfriend), and my sister when she deigns to come. It’s lovely to have all the
family over for a nice sit-down breakfast and then opening of the presents all
together. What we usually do is let the kids open their stockings before
everyone gets there, and we open all the rest of the presents after breakfast
(yes, they “allow this”. They’ve never known anything different)
So for the past couple years, I’ve been wanting a full
12-place set of dishes specifically for special occasions such as this. I didn’t
want them “Christmassy” because I’d like to use them other times as well, but we
don’t have any nice dishes. We didn’t register for anything when we were
getting married because seriously – who uses their wedding china? Besides my MIL,
anyhow. It turns out some china would have been nice.
I have finally picked out a set, and it’s on clearance so
hopefully I can get it (I’m trying not to get my hopes up until it’s actually
ordered. It’s simple and pretty, and I think with Christmas chargers and linens
it can dress up very pretty.
(crate & barrel)
Okay, I’m excited.

Funny! Great minds think alike. I posted about something similar today, too. Though, I do want a set of holiday dishes and I've been scouring stores to find the perfect set. Love the ones you selected!
