If you are an educator, as my husband was for many years, you have received from precious students and parents a Christmas mug filled with candy kisses, peppermint candy, baggies wrapped with homemade cocoa mix and marshmallows or Russian tea "Tang".
We have quite a collection of Christmas mugs! We always seem to bring them out of the attic each Christmas too. Our household of four only has two coffee drinkers - my husband and his mom. Since mom likes to "rotate" the mugs and dishes around I let her choose which ones to place in the cupboard for the season. My husband prefers his plain mug. Mom packs the "everyday" mugs away for a few weeks and stocks the cabinet with more Christmas mugs than any one person can drink from --- eighteen days till Christmas!
I suppose it gives a warm Christmas feeling to open cupboard and see it full of decorated mugs - even if they all won't make it in the rotation from shelf to lips!
