Unless you are in charge of hosting Christmas dinner for 8 adults and 6 kids.

My shining moment was my sister finding me alone on my stairs and drinking from the wine bottle in the middle of hosting Xmas for my parents and family for the first time.

It depends on the people. We’ve done Xmas for maybe a dozen people and yet it is still less stressful than having my emotionally abusive mother in law over alone…

Oh hush, plenty of people get mildly worried/stressed about hosting events for a bunch of people, especially if they’re making everything. Something could go wrong with a recipe (or the timing of multiple dishes if it’s their first time making this much at once), they could be worried about not having their place clean enough yet, there could be some family tension over politics or religion or whatever, or it could just be mild anxiety over how much stuff there is to do…plenty of things to worry about.

And yeah, this absolutely comes off as a brag, congrats on all your experience hosting.
