Does A Stress-Free Holiday Visit Really Exist?

Are you looking forward to having out-of-town family and friends stay at your home for the holidays?

Perhaps you're still smarting from the last visit, when a year's worth of expectations, a few days of eating and drinking too much, and one too many after-dinner discussions about politics or healthcare left you whispering to your spouse in the kitchen "Honey, when are they leaving?"

Not that it happens that way in my family, of course. Each year, when my husband and I travel east to spend the Christmas holiday week with his family, it's a holly, jolly love fest.

That is, if you don't count the year my husband and I "lost" our niece in a convenience store five minutes after being entrusted with her for the very first time.

Or the year I insisted everyone switch to my "special" Seattle brand of coffee instead of "that brown foul-tasting water" brewed by my brother-in-law.

Or when I convinced my niece and nephew to stick around for what I declared was the "traditional" Christmas Eve poker game instead of going to church with their mom.
