Building my Christmas China Collection

Since I was 10 years old my mom has been buying me pieces of Spode Christmas Tree china for Christmas. I never really appreciated the gift until I bought my own home several years ago. Now I think it’s one of the most thoughtful gifts I’ve ever received. Furthermore, there aren’t many gifts that I still have from when I was a kid. The Spode china has become the centerpiece of my Christmas decorating. Now that I’m 27, I have a complete set of china and enjoy having the entire family for Christmas dinner. The Spode china has become such a cherished Christmas tradition, that I intend to start the same tradition when my daughter turns 10.
