I purchased "A Cup of Christmas Tea" teapots, teacups and accessories one at a time on eBay a few years ago.
My goal at that time was to set a themed table at the 2009 Berea Health Ministry fund raiser tea.
It took months to collect various co-ordinating pieces.
I used Aunt Ida's green glass plates to complete the place settings.
This was one of the most fun tea table themes I have put together.
Our family will enjoy several cups of Christmas tea this season.

I love your Christmas table.I have considered many times in the past skipping Christmas dinner or our big luncheon for our family.Having them all enjoy Christmas day tea instead,But then I always change my mind because of all the son in laws and Grandsons.Maybe someday-Denise
You have any ideas other than a separate Christmas tea for all the ladies and girls?
Definitely a favorite book and pattern. A Christmas tradition! Thanks for sharing your lovely table and happy TT!

How wonderful!
Thank you for sharing that you used your Emerald Charm plates too. A lot of people need encouragement mixing and matching. I have a pair of Emerald Charm Tea Cups and Saucers in the shop, and I wish I could show all of their possibilities.
You have a miniature "Christmas Tea" set, but what is your small set under the tree?
How pretty! I love mixing and matching! To Denise above, I'd suggest to go ahead and just do a tea, only perhaps serve heftier savories and not-so-delicate sweets!! (And you don't have to tell the guys it's a tea!) :)
Denise, I do exactly as the other Denise suggests. We always include men family members at our Christmas teas. I serve multiples of each sandwich choice and heartier sandwich/savory selections.

Love your teapot and teacup. Very pretty. Now it just seems like I have seen this teapot somewhere recently, I just wonder? Hummmm! Love it!
Lovely collection to share. Wish I had some pieces to go with my book.♥♫
Ooooh! Holly is so pretty! I have my own holly plates and love them! I really love your napkin holders and miniatures!
Your tablescape is just lovely.
I love this set. I have some of it and always enjoy putting it out.
Merry Christmas.
Your Cup of Christmas Tea teaware and tablescape is lovely. Tom Heggs books A Cup of Christmas Tea and A Memory of Christmas Tea are favorites of mine.
What a brilliant idea! (And you were collecting at a good time, since I gather it is getting harder to find these pieces anymore!) Also love your Aunt Idea's beautiful green glass plates. Am thinking I need to look for green and red glassware all year long ...
LOVELY Christmas tea set!
