Keep it

Every Christmas table, side by side.

Christmas dinners blur together because they are meant to be the same every year. Take one photo when the table is full: PlateDiary cuts each dish into its own save on your phone, keeps the place and the night, and the companions row remembers who came — the year Grandma made it, the year the baby joined. December comes back as a month story in Served, and the moment board keeps every Christmas next to the last.
