Grandmas always have a good set of holiday china.
Depending on her style, of course, there are a number of different designs on the fancy plates, ranging from cute little holly decals to risque Santa Klaus caricatures. Whether you like it or not, the emergence of these plates at the end of the year is exciting, even if it is a little disturbing or embarrassing for the whole family. As reindeer clop their hooves, kids build snowmen, and the Christmas season comes into full swing, our dearest grannies go rummaging in the attic for the cherished porcelain. Alas, with every layer of new dust gathering on these beauties, a fun new family tradition is forged in the fires of the warm hearth.
Grab your gingerbread man mugs and prepare the sugar cookie platters; the Christmas plates mark a critical benchmark in the celebration of the season.
Traditions have a way of reminding us of our family members, the memories past, and the certain joys of the future. Christmas is the perfect opportunity to create lasting, memorable moments with your loved ones, basking in the silliest, most wholesome moments of our journeys around the sun. Gather up your cousins and your favorite sibling, because every new dinner spent around the table with your besties is another successful holiday season.
