The answers to these questions will determine the dinnerware you use for your holiday gathering. And with so many styles, colors and price-ranges to choose from, you'll have no trouble finding what you need.

If your party is going to be elegant with a full meal, choose coordinated dinnerware with glasses and stemware to compliment. Use table linens in colors that blend well so that the table is soft, subdued and has a beautifully dignified feel to it.

If you're doing drinks and hors d'oeuvres choose snazzy plates with contrasting linens and cocktail glasses in cool colors. And if you are going casual, feel free to mix and match with dinnerware that brings out the fun side of the season, even if it's that snappy plastic stuff that you can find nowadays with cute, fun patterns.

Just remember, your holiday gatherings are all about fun and love, regardless of what type of Christmas dinnerware the food is served on!
