i have the classic LENOX HOLIDAY pattern. (i have cups and saucers though, rather than the mugs shown.)

as a more whimsical pattern, i have TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS from williams sonoma.

i also use nice quality paper plates and hostess napkins from CASPARI for breakfast and lunches, as needed.

 

 

i also collect LOLITA DESIGNS holiday wine glasses and martini glasses. i pick up a new one each year.  you can find them in glass or acrylic.

i would LOVE to start another holiday china set, but space is a concern. it is a weakness of mine because it really puts me in the holiday mood.

ALWAYS loved Lenox Holly.  That Christmas set is one of the most beautiful Santa sets I have seen!

I don't have a set of Christmas dishes but I do have wine glasses that have the Christmas motif.  I also have lots of Christmas mugs that I use during the holidays.

@Desert Lily

Where did you find these glasses, looked thru Pottery Barn, cannot find?  Please give me their name or a direct link.  Thanks!

I've never gotten sets but have a few individual place settings of several holiday patterns. The days of me setting a holiday table, are, however, increasingly far and few between. When I have holiday season dinner at my place, I increasingly use what's in the cabinet.

I enjoyed seeing all of your pretty dinnerware. I never had special holiday themed place settings but in the day always used my fine china. At 72 I never host special dinners any more. Gave away most of my china and crystal and just use Fiesta ware now. It still looks nice enough with linens, candles etc and DH and I are ok with it. I guess there is truth to the verse, “To everything there is a season...”

@KLevineFan  It must be Williams Sonoma. They also have this pretty pine pitcher.

DH bought me "Twas the night before" by Noritake back in the mid 1980s.  It's stoneware and discontinued.  I use it as everyday dishes during the holiday saeson and white "White Silk" Mikasa china for the big holiday dinner.
