I agree! I didn't care about the Limoges and was glad the kids wanted it, but I am enamored of our Twas The Night Before Christmas dinnerware, and the sterling silverware we amassed over the years.

Twas the Night Before Christmas has two personal meanings in our little family and the dishes mean more to me than any other sets that we have. I kept the stuff that means the most and still enjoy using it. The rest I gave to the kids or donated.
