Noritake Holiday Table

There’s nothing like the winter holidays to give me the decorating bug. I love a season that I can bring a live tree in the house and a reason to enjoy my holly bush outside my front door. It doesn’t matter if you’re a snowman person or a Santa Claus one. Either way you’ll get to share the spirit with your friends and neighbors.
While you are putting up your wreath and tree, make sure to get your table ready for the holidays too. The day after Thanksgiving is when most families begin making their houses into winter wonderlands. If you get a head start, it’s easier to plan all of your parties early. There is nothing more stressful than waiting until the day of a party to get your special dishes down and clean them. Plus if you have them down early you can enjoy them during more meals.
The Noritake holiday collection has a wide array of dinnerware to match whatever your theme is. Aria Christmas pattern is perfect for a contemporary color scheme that includes silver. I have a small silver tree that I decorate with blue and white ornaments. I plan on having it decorate my buffet table for my annual pre-Christmas cocktail party. The silver holiday accent pattern is perfect for an assortment of hors d’oeuvres. Plus they are just the right size to carry while you mingle with all your friends.
Another great party idea is to have friends over for dessert and coffee. I like to set up a coffee bar with everything imaginable for my guests to add in their cup. I put out bowls of whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Of course, an assortment of liquors never hurts. It’s perfect for the Noritake accent mugs in Aria or Palace patterns. You can choose a border of silver or gold to match your favorite holiday color.
For the big Christmas dinner, you’ll want to match your serving ware with your dishes. I recommend Noritake Holly and Berry Gold. It has a beautiful repeated pattern of green holly and lush red berries rimmed with a thin line of gold. The 5 piece plate setting is only $49.95, and you can add to your collection each year.
There are matching Holly and Berry Gold serving dishes and platters that will give your table a beautiful uniform look. My onion dip made with non fat Greek yogurt works perfectly in the rectangle chip and dip set. I like to serve mine with fresh veggies and baked whole wheat crackers.
You can even put out the matching cookie jar with your other holiday decorations. All your visitors will enjoy the multitude of homemade cookies that you fill it with. Try out a few new to you cookie recipes to add to repertoire. Who knows, it might be next year’s favorites.
