OK I am OBSESSED with Christmas. I havent even put fine china on my registry, cause i don't see myself using it, but Christmas china is a different story! I found a set i LOVE, but I feel a little weird putting it on since I am getting married in July
any thoughts? Did anyone else put Christmas china on there?

Re: Did anyone register for....
Im going to have to say a big 'no' on that one mainly because we are Jewish BUT, we DID register for religious items: A challah plate, matching candlesticks, and matching challah knife for Shabbat dinners. I also registered for a mezzuzah but took it off when I found it cheaper at the Lenox outlet. If I celebrated Christmas, i would have chosen Christmas China. I think its pretty.

no because i will use my regular fine china for holidays, BUT we did put a lenox ornament on there as well as some other christmas item, i cant remember, that most likely will not be sold anytime near my shower, however hopefully someone will see it and buy it for christmas
I think it is fine to register for holiday items (no biggie if your wedding is in july)

Oh I'm glad you posted this. We are registering soon, and I wanted to register for Christmas dishes, even though the stores wont sell it in the Spring. But I was unsure if I should do it.
But heck, if the brides on LIW say it's ok, then I can do it!!

I'm definitely registering for Christmas stuff. We're getting married next November so I figured it's close enough to the holidays. Besides, I LOVE Christmas stuff!!!

No, and I don't plan on it. I'll just use our regular china for the holidays. It's pretty but I don't see it being worth it IMO. But that's just me, if it makes you happy then def go for it!!
Btw, love Leslie's response!

I have a registry at Kohls (my mom's only request to date) and I put on the Phalzgraph Christmas set (dishes, bowls, etc). Because Christmas is my fave holiday and I have always wanted a special set.

I want to BUT actually our casual china comes in a Holiday form and we will probably buy it at the Lenox outlet

OMG!!! i'm same way. fi gave me the big ol' NO to registering for it. so i just told him that that was fine - i just spend his hard-earned money on it anyway once we got a house
i think if you're not registering for regular china AND the pattern you want is a standard that's been around for a while, then you should go for it.

Re: Did anyone register for....
I was actually ONLY registering for Holiday China. I am thinking of a lenox design. I think that formal china does not fit our lifestyle. I am one of 10 and have 23 nieces and nephews and more on the way...so dinner parties or more like buffet and find a seat wherever you can. A holiday set is more practical. I would have more of an opportunity to use it. Plus I think my everyday is so pretty I can use it for my friends and family when they do come over...
For some reason I can only get the platter to show up as a pic....the plates are just a pale blue with a chocolate brown border.
i would, but i don't think it will be available to purchase around our shower and wedding dates...otherwise, i would def put it on! i

My FH have registered for odd things, since we already have small appliances etc. b/c we bought a house last year. I say put it on there, you never know. I just hope they purchase the regular china before the Christmas one otherwise you will be eating on reindeer plates on Easter.

The plates are called 'audrey' and they are from Crate and Barrel. The set is sooooo beautiful. My FMIL/ FFIL bought me all of my 8- 5piece settings..and then FH grandma bought me 4 more 5 pice settings because they realized that I am using them as my 'china'.
