In our home it’s about tradition. We still use Christmas dishes that must be hand washed. I hand wash all of my wine glasses. It’s 15 minutes out of my day, not a big deal.
When kids and grands put their I Want stickers on our things, my dishes, crystal and silver, were wanted by all. They are now in negotiations on who gets to pick first.
For them it’s about memories, I was pleasantly surprised and glad to see family time at the table is as important now as it was when they were living at home. They still talk about everyone sitting around cleaning the silver talking about things and passing on stories from the past.
