Is it an American thing to have special Christmas china? Somebody talked about getting their "Fall" china out recently and I thought Hey ho there's another superfluous and unnecessary trend crossing the Atlantic. I have been using the same Wedgwood white Countryware China since the mid-1980s and have never tired of it and when serving Christmas mince pies I simply add a sprig of (real) holly! We have a charity Christmas post which covers the local villages, but it's the old folk round here who do the running around.

With the box, it would make a lovely gift too. <br />We have had the annual Scouts Christmas card delivery service in my community for over 30 years, so it's not a new thing at all to me. When it started out the cards were 5p each, but have crept up now to 25p. Now, some of those first Scout delivery boys have boys of their own in the Scouts.Rustic Pumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335714529878600216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4787951981229151015.post-34509328167347179272017-12-05T16:07:18.501+00:002017-12-05T16:07:18.501+00:00That really is a bargain, Sue!
