From the Editor

There is something about Christmas that makes me want to pull out the china. I am a self-admitted china enthusiast, and when the holidays are in full swing, I always bring out Lenox Holiday, the pattern I registered for 42 years ago. Loved, used, and enjoyed through countless Christmases, it still feels as special as the day I chose it. There is something wonderful about the pieces that become part of your family’s story, year after year.
