Plates, Glassware & Serving Dishes for Your Christmas Table
If you enjoy entertaining during the Christmas holidays, you are going to love decorating your table using Christmas Themed Dinnerware. The warmth of gathering together to enjoy a holiday meal will be even more memorable when you have selected dishes to accent your holiday decor. The plates, glassware, and serving dishes selected in this preview are a few that have been classic, elegant, and favorite choices. Two of the most important aspects of selecting dinnerware are first that you fall in love with them and second that they will stand the test of time. Unlike other dishes, which you will use time and again perhaps 200 times a year, these treasures will be used a few times a year so make it a life long investment and select classic items that you love and will last a lifetime of memories. Not to mention, you can pass them along to loved ones so they can continue to serve love and warmth during their gatherings for years and years to come.

n preparation of entertaining during the Christmas holidays, you will want to begin by taking inventory of the dinnerware you have and inspect for any chips or other disrepair. Carefully clean each item according to the material's guidelines. Consider how many people you will expect to entertain at any given gathering and determine what items you will need to compliment what you have on hand.
Planning ahead , such as items in the Winterberry collection for example, will allow you to add to your collection over time. Make a list of items you want to purchase now and a list of the items you want to add to your collection after the holidays to use next year.
- Dinnerware comes in choice of durable and more delicate materials (choose according to your families needs)
- Dinnerware (plates, glassware, and serving dishes) come in a variety of designs so you can mix and match according to your style
- Holiday themes can be associated with seasons rather than a particular holiday (Winterberries are "in season" throughout end of autumn to early spring)
- Find tutorials about various finishes (stoneware, ivory porcelain, china, earthenware, gold accents, etc) so you are aware of the care and storage recommendations for each of the materials.

How To Choose Dinnerware
When choosing dinnerware for any time of the year first determine the durability needs of your family. A family with younger children or elderly adults may consider having durable dinnerware while, on the other hand, more delicate materials would be suitable for most gatherings. You do not need to give up elegance for durability. However, you will want to learn all you can about the materials you choose so you are aware of the care and storage of them.
Consider the following:
- Choose plates with durability needs in mind
- Will this item need hand washing or is it dishwasher safe?
- How will you care for 'accents' such as 24 karet gold
- Can the item be placed in microwave, oven, or freezer (note: even oven safe dishes can not be placed in the over without food in them as they will have no heat exchange and they may likely break)
- What will you serve? The item you choose should suit your menu, Do you drink wine? then buy wine glasses, in a pinch a goblet can be substituted for most beverages (unless the event is black tie formal)
- Double check counts of each item you order. Some are for a service of 1, some are sold in quantities. Is the item a 'set of 4' a 'service for eight' or "5 pieces"
The most important thing is you love what you buy. All the rest will fall into place. Style is great, but, the most important thing about gatherings is the people. So if you are entertaining with your fine china and crystal or your favorite everyday stoneware what matters most is being together and making memories.
