Ha!  I have a set of "guilt" china, too.  

  An elderly aunt gave the entire set to me years ago.  The pattern is just so "not" me.  I never wanted it, and don't use it.  It's a pain in the butt to have hauled it around in storage bins, to all the various places I've lived in, since I moved away from home in my early 20s.  I'd love to get rid of it, but I have all this guilt about it . . . 
 
Now, I do have a smaller amount of Lenox Christmas china that I love.  Bought all the pieces myself, over the years.  It's not a complete set (I don't need that), but enough for 6 place settings, and a few nice serving pieces.  I use it once a year at Christmas and that's enough for me.  (I even use a linen tablecloth & napkins, Gabe!  Now that's what I call downright civilized behavior once a year!!
