[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 482588, member: 84"] Take a deep breath and [B]relax[/B]. No one is going to expect perfection. Reminds me of when mother in law stepped down from her role as holiday hostess. I wanted to cry. I mean this woman took "hostess" to amazing heights and I just knew I'd never measure up. I'd spent 20 yrs helping her but I just didn't feel ready to do it on my own. I'm several years into it now. Now, I don't think about it much. Thanksgiving is not my holiday at all. BUT the family comes together and visits and the grandkids are running around and the dogs get stuffed between what is dropped on the floor and leftovers from plates and the cats outside even get the carcass of the turkey...............and well heck, it's just nice and warm and fuzzy. And remember, I'm one who hates crowds. You can do it and it will be ok. :) [/QUOTE]
