Christmas dishes for thanksgiving dinner?

[Anonymous]

I’m usually not the one who hosts any dinners but we find ourselves hosting ten for Thanksgiving and normally we travel out for Christmas but a few years ago I was gifted my grandmother’s fabulous Christmas china. It’s very pretty but definitely Christmas. Since we rarely entertain for Christmas, I’ve never used it and wondering if it’s too tacky to try it for thanksgiving? I’d love to try it out!

Use it with your family during the entire month of December. You don’t have to wait to entertain to use good china! Put it in the dishwasher and if a piece gets chopped, so what?!

But do not even think about using it at Thanksgiving OP. You will confuse and upset your guests.

Punctuation. It's what's for dinner.

I would absolutely use it. Christmas China likely has a winter theme, right? Perfect imho. Make it festive. Why not?

Buy chocolate turkeys if you want to add some thanksgiving flair.

I don't think guests will be confused or upset, but I do think you should use it the entire month.

OP's mother in law, "What happened to thanksgiving? Did I miss an entire month?"

You should use it. Most people are decorating for Christmas by Thanksgiving. And who cares? You are the host and the dishes are important to you. I would definitely use them.

Why can't you be giving thanks for being Christian in US?

I say go for it.

It's fine, OP.
