[quote=Anonymous]I’ve inherited 3 different sets of china, and so has my sister. We both also have multiple sets of silver with monograms from 3 generations ago. Like a pp, my sister and I scour eBay to replace missing pieces. I still regret turning down my grandmother’s offer of her 24 place-setting antique china that instead got donated to. Museum—I’m not making that up—but I was in grad school at the time and couldn’t imagine where to store it. Both my kids, a DD and a DS, appreciate the china and silver. Why? Because breaking bread together is a ritual that’s common across humanity and comes with traditions in various cultures. Because we treat major holidays like rituals that deserve a little attention. Others think it’s ok to wear sweats to Thanksgiving dinner. YMMV.[/quote]
