When DH and I married almost 15 years ago, a friend of my mother encouraged us to register for Tiffany's Holiday china. She said that it had such pretty colors that and since it had bows and not Christmas trees, it could be used from Thanksgiving until Valentine's Day. It is so festive with the red bows and so we do just that! It is the china we use from November until February when we are enjoying a special meal.
Isn't it lovely?
This was our table at Christmas. I need to plan a special dinner so we can use it again!
