My family is small but this year I feel rather anxious about cooking. I feel a bit panicky that it will all go wrong,or I will burst into tears, or someone won't like any of it. Hubby says he'll help but to be honest, his help will consist of standing in the kitchen saying "what do you want me to do" and that will panic me even more. He has never cooked anything since we were married so he can't help much.
I don't remember worrying in the past, I must be having a funny phase.
Hubby and I don't make a big fuss about Xmas food as we don't get many visitors and it just goes to waste. Apart from Xmas day, we buy the same as we usually buy the rest of the year.
It will be turkey, roast and mashed potatoes, gravy, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower cheese and yorkshire puds (well everyone loves them so we have to have them

)
For dessert there will be a trifle and a strawberry cheesecake.
My son doesn't like turkey or chicken though and he will probably have a home made venison pie.
