Kinda similar post but from a Gramma point of view...and not warm & fuzzy, sadly!

[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 605480, member: 1967"] DDD, I totally understand what you are saying. I collected Waterford ornaments from the time difficult child was born. I collected a 12 days of Christmas set for difficult child and then started again and collected another 12 days of Christmas set for easy child. Each set started with the year they were born and I collected them for the next 12 years. I carefully unpack them every Christmas and put them on the tree and then carefully repack them after Christmas. Each girl is to get her set after I am gone. Sadly, I don't think that they mean much to either of them. I fully expect difficult child to sell hers and easy child might hold on to them just for my sake but I don't think she will carefully put them on the tree each year. I also collect Pfaltzgraf's Winterberry Christmas dinnerware. I don't think either of my daughters will care what happens to it even though I have collected it for years. Ironically, I have a very close friend who is 22 years younger than me who also collects Winterberry so I think I'll leave the dinnerware to her. The only real jewelry I have came from my grandmother. I expect that will be sold, too. Neither of my girls are sentimental. So, I get it. ~Kathy [/QUOTE]
