Oh, thanks. Funny, I saw the old Christmas Carol [2007-12-10]
on AMC last night and I thought that Scrooge was more fun when he was crabby! All of a sudden and 3 ghosts later, he is all goody goody and buying everyone gifts. Oh, brother. Now, wait a minute, maybe I am a Scrooge! But for the first time I realized how ridiculous even that movie is. Scrooge becomes commercialized buying everyone everything and everyone likes him. What does that mean? I actually think when Tiny Tim's family did not have all that fancy stuff, they were just as happy, and they looked more wealthy than kings with all of that love. Of course then, without Scrooge's money Tiny Tim would be in the grave. Bah, humbug, I say! Christmas is not about money! It's about giving of one's self and that does not have to be money. Well, see I am still a crab, but maybe I am figuring out what's wrong with me this year. Seems like the people who rack up the most credit card bills are happiest on TV commercials, but not me no way I say bah humbug, but not with a frown, with a smile! And I wish you the best of the season too, and all my friends who posted here, because Christmas is about friends and support, not the value of a dollar. :)

What is your pattern name on back? I bought a magnolia pattern several years ago, actually paied $72 for an 8 piece setting from ABC Distributing. Gold trim with wine and hunter green stripe on outside with pinecones, magnolias and Berries, Magnolia pattern from Tienshan China. Curious if it is same set. Later I meb my best friend of 10 years now. We are so much alike and were stunned to know that we had the same set of china. Identical pattern. The only difference was that hers had a gold, wine and then deep blue band where mine was green. Hers also cost several hundred dollars and was a Savannah pattern or something of the like. What if you got a solid color gravey boat other than white, to match the set and maybe trimmed it with gold. Would still like to know that pattern.
