ItVMy Turn To Host Everybody
• • •
Dear Carole, vi
Can you give me .some advice
about how to make it through
holiday family reunions? We
have a forge family. This year
it’s my turn to host everybody. I
have a lot of mixed feelings
about tfaistevent. • '
On the positive side, I’m look
ing forward to seeing my family.
On the noteo-positive side, I get
very anxious about such a visit.
Although I love my family dear
ly, I have this feeling that I’m
about to be invaded. -
'i What can I do to make every
thing go smoothly during this get
together?
W.G.
arrangements that are satisfac
tory to all.
You are one person. Although
you are the hostess, you should
not feel as though you must be
responsible for every aspect of
your fatnily’s visit.
Use a team approach jn which
everyone participates, from
setting up to cleaning up.
Carole
