Part One: The china and silver

I really think for my Easter Dinner that I should stick with the Metlox Navajo. Since Easter is a joyous celebration (The resurection of Our Lord Jesus Christ In Heaven) it needs to be a "happy" pattern. While all of my china patterns are intrinsicaly "happy", Navajo is also the most Easter Eggy, and you can't underestimate Easter Eggi-ness on Easter.



Of course, I could go with the Metlox California Contempora, but it just doesn't say "resurection" to me, although it might be appropriate for Good Friday:



"What about the Starburst?", you are undoubtedly screaming frantically. Well, I'm afraid Starburst has become a bit too common for me. Once something shows up on a Cherrio's commercial, it's a bit cliched, don't you think?



But I must admit, I had a moment there (but just a moment) when I considered the Salem North Star. But, considering the religious nature of the holiday, I didn't want people confusing the design with a cross. I don't approve of christian-themed dinnerware.



Linens? Don't make me laugh! This is Easter, not Thanksgiving. Besides, the Gangso Dining table needs no linens

But one thing is for sure: We'll be breaking out the silver. Oneida "First Frost" to be exact. A timeless pattern that just SCREAMS taste and breeding.
