Discussing whose going to bring or cook what, discussing who should or shouldn’t be invited. We all need to be open and honest about how we prepare to enjoy our holiday and those who we want to share our holiday with. Some people think, well its only once a year I can manage a couple of hours, well that’s not a good thing, you would be amazed to know the level of internal stress you can cause to yourself, holding how you truly feel inside.
