I love holiday shopping. I know it can get hectic – you’ll need to find a parking space, wait in line for the checkout and it’s cold outside -, but, I just love the decorations, beautifully-lit Christmas trees, and shops with holiday items.

I particularly like Williams Sonoma’s holiday dinnerware. If you’re into traditional Christmas table settings using lots of red, green, and gold, you’re most likely to find what you need at Williams Sonoma.

I’ve been eyeing the Snowman tabletop pattern. Lots of white and red.

Who can resist these chunky snowmen, right?

This is a cookie jar.

A little snack dish.

Salt and pepper shakers.

I bought a few salad plates and pasta bowls because they get used most frequently.

The salad plates work great for serving not only salads but desserts, single-serving appetizers, or finger foods.

And pasta is our most frequently-served dinner menu.

Most of Williams Sonoma’s dishes are both microwave and dishwasher-safe, making them ideal for all occasions, both formal and casual.

Wiiliams Sonoma usually runs at least 20% off promotion the entire month of December, so make sure to take advantage of that.
