The teacup I’m sharing this week is in the Lenox "Holiday" pattern, which is my formal Christmas china. The design features green holly leaves with red berries on an ivory porcelain base. This pattern came out in 1974 and it has become a perennial favorite among traditional designs.
The inspirational holiday book is A Christmas Wish by Dee Appel, with art by Gay Talbott Boassy. (c)2001
This book is part of the series Tiny Tea, published by Blue Cottage Gifts, a devision of Multnomah Publishers, Inc. in Sisters, Oregon. Note the holly decoration on the cup and in the greenery.
The small gift book consists of a lovely poem expressing joy in the season and wishing friends warmth and love. The book ends with this wonderful quotation:
“I have not stopped
giving thanks for you,
remembering you in my prayers.”
Ephesians 1:16 NIV
May we each think often of our friends and loved ones during this festive season. And may we be ever in prayer for God’s blessing in their lives.

Your Lenox china is my favorite Christmas dishes that I own. Pat
Hi Carrie,
thank you for your visit and your sweet comment.
Your Lennox Christmas china is very adorable. Lennox is always very elegant. I am sure the book has wonderful inspirations for holiday spirit.
Season Greetingsto you, too,
Johanna
Yes, Carrie, I do like this Lenox Holiday pattern. The cup is so elegant to hold. Only have one, though - but my aunt has the whole set. Maybe someday I will have a set, too! Meantime, I have a lesser quality holy pattern china and tea set that does just fine. More on that later this month! You're all decked out here at Oak Rise, I see! Joy to you this Christmas!!
