I'm anxious because we haven't made any plans and have only received one invitation we don't particularly want (and haven't replied yet). I always feel like we're a charity case for both holidays. It is a little easier now because my husband is part of it with me :-) but it is kind of sad too. I've always lived in houses that aren't great for entertaining many people; either not enough seats or not enough room :-) and sometimes I'm blue that that is so and I can't suggest "it" be held here one year or anything. But some of that is a reflection of my stepmother's and father's hospitality and how everything was held at their house so I feel like I somehow don't measure up.
