HOLIDAY get-togethers and reunions can be the most stressful this time of the year. Sure, we look forward to seeing family again, this being the first face-to-face parties for most people, but the ghosts of pre-pandemic Christmas reunions past are bound to rear their ugly heads and prey on everyone’s emotions.
I don’t envy these girls. Nor the younger gents I know. The latter, too, apparently get the same third degree from older relatives these days. I suppose these are the signs of the times, and equality means all the young folk get the same unwanted questions about their civil status or “future plans,” regardless of gender.
Plan ahead. Find out what your host will need for the reunion and ask how you could help. It may be as simple as ensuring the invites have been sent to relatives, or bringing everyone’s favorite dessert or beverage. The less stressed the host is in organizing the party, the better chances she will be at her best in entertaining and making sure everyone has a good time.
