Each year I display mine or set the table with them. Today I helped my Mom decorate her home, and we put out some of her plates in her hutch; the rest we used on her table, but of course I forgot to get that picture. I thought you might like to see how they looked...
Here are a few of mine on the plate rack:
...and in the China Hutch ...
If you're looking to begin a new holiday tradition, this is really a fun one!
Looks just lovely!

Rhonda, thank you for stopping by! ANd I love all your Christmas dishes, those are beautiful. I wish I had room to store more, but I really don't. I'd love to have a few more pieces.
ReplyDeleteRhonda what a sweet Christmas tradition!
ReplyDeleteI just love it and the beautiful plates!
Enjoy this joyous season!

Hello! I'm visiting from Kristins blog! I love your home..and to be honest, I cant imagine someone wanting to live in the cold! I live in Wisconsin and I tell you, the older we get I wonder if I can make it another winter season. We in fact have snow today and probably for the next 2 or 3 days we will get more of it.
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to have a pool, and some of your dishes I do have!
Yes, that is a fabulous idea!
ReplyDeleteChristmas plates are a fun idea. You can display them in so many different ways and then actually use them. Twin and I bought a set of 4 snowmen plates this year and I have them above my kitchen cabinets.
ReplyDeleteYour plate collection is amazing. I like that they don't all match but obviously your friend knows you well. They all look great together!
ReplyDeleteI have two sets of Christmas dishes one that is casual and one dressy. Of course, the fun ones are used much more. :)
I love Christmas plates and have a small collection of my own; the majority are from California and each brings memories of the Christmas I bought or received it.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely tradition you and your family have shared.
Merry Christmas Rhonda to you and yours!
