I remember Thanksgiving and Christmas Eve dinners with my mother. She was a fantastic cook, and yet she would be a nervous reck preparing those meals. Unfortunately, I have inherited some of her nervousness. Only for me it's a bit worse. Mother usually only prepared these meals for Dad and I. For Thanksgiving we're having 5 to 7 people, and in a couple of weeks we're hosting a Christmas Open House. We're expecting about 100 people. Needless to say, I'm already feeling stressed. If you're feeling a little pre-holiday stress too, read my article on How to Handle Holiday Stress. I think I'll try to follow some of my own advise, too. Good luck and enjoy!
