I love this thread.  My favorite is Spode Christmas tree.  You can get single pieces at Ross, Homegoods and TJMaxx over the holidays now, but I purchased mine many years ago when it was still made in England.  I joke to my sons to not sell this at a garage sale for pennies when I'm gone or I'll haunt them.  I end up only using about half of what I have stored for Christmas dinner.  They take up a lot of room for only one use a year...maybe I'll pull them out early and use them the entire month of December this year.

@CAcableGirl2  Absolutely use them all of December.  I have many sets of Pimpernel Christmas placemats, and I use one set a week in December, and there are mats specifically for Christmas Eve that I use on that night, lots of fun, I think.

@MariotaMurielle@, Thanks for starting this thread.  The suggestions and accompanying images are lovely.  I was not aware of Johnson Brothers Friendly Village, but it's beautiful!  I wish I had more space for storing fine China. @ I love 222 Fifth's Winter Cardinal. That may be "the one" to fill my desire for new dinnerware with a wintry pattern to use from Thanksgiving until Easter.  @stevieb, Thanks for posting the image!

@Trix... Glad you like the pattern too and I don't think you'll be disappointed if you opt in. It's a very easy pattern to dress up or down, too.

I have the Johnson Bros Friendly Village dinnerware. I love it! It was purchased by my grandmother, as a gift to my mother, and then passed down to me in the 1970's. I also love that I can use it for both Christmas and Thanksgiving, especially now that I've downsized.

@CaliKat, lucky you!  what I love about it is that it's a pattern not specifically Christmas or Thanksgiving but can be used for both.

I have the Lenox Holiday pattern that several of you own

However mine has a platinum rather than a gold rim.  I preferred that look,with my sterling place settings.  last year  I boxed it all up and took,it to my daughter since Christmas will now be celebrated at her house so my grandson can enjoy Christmas at home.

I am a tableware junkie.  I own eight different complete services or dinnerware.

my latest obsession is made by 222 Fifth.  I purchased two different paterms that mix and match together very well.  I  have the complete service for 24 people along with bowls, platters and even latte mugs.

it is really beautiful in person.  A lot of my Christmas items are peacock themed too.

I almost lost my mind when I say these two patterns .. Gorgeous ....

I love plates .. glasses and serving pieces.... you would think the

Queen of England was coming ...!!  I once bought individual covered

butter dishes to go at each plate .. Yikes ....

@Big Joanie and @Carmie I just got the Home Depot "Company's Coming" catalog, and guess what's on the cover? The peacocks!

I am not a fan of busy patterns on dinnerware.  I prefer a nice solid ivory or white and bring in the color of the season with table cloths, napkins and a centerpiece.  I have donated my Christmas Tree dinnerware and don't miss it at all.

As far as I know, it is one of the Johnson Brother's pieces for the same line. I think there are multiple different patterns to the set.
