Thread: Thanksgiving Plans?

We're hosting Thanksgiving this year for our extended family, and my wife seems to think it's a really big deal. She's really stressed about all the plans going into it. Any ideas about how I can help her relax?

The best way to help her feel more relaxed is to offer to help her. If she says no, then stay out of her way. A lot of times just being in the kitchen with her is causing more problems than not.

We host Thanksgiving at our house every year and I am always stressed to the max. I'd offer help, stay out of her way and be prepared to take an earful with a smile on your face!

Sounds like these guys about have you covered there. Just ask if there is anything you can do run to the store etc. and just help out without being asked with things like straightening the living room or wiping down the bathroom. She may not mention it but little things like that score big points!

Take her on a vacation.

Everyone stresses over the holidays and as odd as it sounds by biggest issue with holidays would be the idiots on the roadways (drunk or sober), that always stresses me more than anything. My house could be a full on wreck, but getting in a car and driving 10 minutes from my house with idiots on the road, I would flip out.
