I was so anxious about hosting my first big holiday meal that I literally spent MONTHS worrying about it. It didn't help that my DH insisted on having 100% of the items be made from scratch and I was too insecure to tell him to keep his nose out of my kitchen. Or that my mother-in-law, who I assume was trying to be helpful, sent me a THREE PAGE LONG highly detailed shopping list. I was a nervous wreck because I felt like I had to "prove myself" as a wife by making the perfect holiday dinner. In retrospect, I can see that I blew the whole thing WAY out of proportion to its actual importance. But at the time it really felt like a huge deal...
