We fell in love with Winter Greetings back in 2003, shortly after it was introduced. Over the years, we have gradually accumulated 20 dinner plates and 20 salad plates, enough to feed everyone at Thanksgiving. We also purchased all the bird accent plates. We display them in our dining room hutch at Christmas. No matter how many times these dishes visit the dishwasher, these gold rimmed plates always look brand new. One thing I like about this pattern is that it is not "just" Christmas. We enjoy it from mid-November to the end of the winter months. Several years ago when our daughter got married, she registered for these plates too. That made me smile. The Lenox legacy lives on. Whether you purchase two dinner plates or 20, you won't regret it. These plates are absolutely gorgeous.
