The question is why? It just occurred to me that maybe the numbers are supposed to represent the 12 days of Christmas? It took me days to realize that might be a possibility. Are the birds supposed to be a clue to what the numbers mean or that the plates would have anything to with winter and its wonderland? Is the white supposed to represent snow? Am I alone is not getting all this right away? Wouldn’t be the first time something flew right over my head.
@ItalianScallion I instantly recognized that these are probably supposed to be for the 12 days of Christmas, but I still don’t know why you’d need plates to demark the days. Maybe they can be used like a reverse Advent calendar and hang a new one each day?
Fun fact: the 12 days of Christmas start after Christmas day (or on, depending on your denomination), leading up to Epiphany.
@die13lda@ItalianScallion there are 364 gifts. Because the song repeats you get 1 the first day, 3 the second day (2 + 1), 6 the third day (3+2+1), 10 the fourth day (4+3+2+1) and so fourth. On the 12th day you get 78 (12+11+10+9+8+7+6+5+4+3+2+1). Add all the days together and you get 364.
After thinking about this for a few more minutes, I can confidently say that I like this even less than I did 10-ish mins ago. Is hanging plates on a wall a thing? If so, I’m more uncool than I thought.
@natasha_natasha@therealjrn Or displaying them on plate stands on shelves, on a fireplace mantel, in a bookcase, etc… along with those little souvenir spoons.
Remember when meh used to do “Oh Shit” reports… We need them to do monthly “What the hell were you thinking” reports for whatever buyer ended up with these.
This is another data point to feed my theory that Meh sometimes buys mixed lots of things. Some of them are good, some of them are meh, and some of them are oh, these are so silly that no one wanted to buy them, but in mixed lots you have to take everything or nothing.

hey @Sean, while I always enjoy your narratives very much, in this case I really wish I knew that the hell we are meant to do with these plates.
@jouest and are the dishwasher safe (etc)??
Amazon says they are “Dishwasher Safe, Hanging decor, Microwave Safe, Oven Safe”
@jouest In this case, the unrelated narrative turned out to be a godsend, because I was just as confused as everyone else.
@jouest @mikibell The shipper/seller is a place called SideDeal on Amazon.
@jouest smash one per day as you count down to Xmas?
@jouest Put dessert on them at an office party, then have a prize drawing with the numbers.
WTF?

@ItalianScallion it also took me entirely too long to realize that re the 12 days, etc.

@die13lda @ItalianScallion i knew this! Lol. Now how many presents were given after the twelve days?
@braveit1 @die13lda Don’t know how many presents. You would have to wait for the Befana to arrive to find out!

But… why?
@cdemay I to would like to know
/define 12 days of Christmas
So, they’re plates. On ribbons. With numbers on them.
Cool.

@natasha_natasha My grandma thinks hanging plates are the bees knees.
