Message:: [QUOTE="SBSVC, post: 260957, member: 136"]Oh, Komo - I'm so sorry you have to deal with this! Maybe you should just list them on eBay, where people are paying $8-$12 (and sometimes more) per mug.... I have SO much Christmas "serving" stuff that my day-to-day things have to be put away for the whole month of December... Mind you, I am NOT likening it to changing out the china for Passover, but in reality, some MIGHT see some similarities. I have huge sets of holiday china: both Spode Christmas (used now mostly for everyday) and Lenox holly - the old one - with the small holly leaves (for company.) Back in the day, we used to have decidedly large (200-250 people) open houses at the holidays. EVERYTHING got used in those days, including the holiday china punch bowls. Today, here in small-town New Hampshire, it just isn't the same... I do, however, pull out the everyday Christmas stuff... I have an "old fashioned" kitchen (at least for the time being...) The shelves at the left in the photo below hold some 14 mugs each, day-to-day. That's 3 x 14 = 42 mugs.) In December, I bring down the holiday mugs, pack up the everyday mugs, and have "Christmas mugs only" till New Years... I'm sort of heavy on the Waechtersbach... [ATTACH=full]81641[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
