Does anyone else get Christmas Day nerves?

I don’t know if it’s because it’s different to normal days or if I put pressure on myself for the day to be great but I think even since I was little I’ve always felt a little nervous on Christmas Day. Is anyone else the same?!

What on earth are you nervous about?!

I understand the pressure to make the day perfect, but if you've been feeling this since you were a child, I'd think this was a bit odd.

Try to relax (I know it's easier said than done) and just enjoy the day, as well as the run up to it.

I think saying since I was little was wrong, I think really late teens / early twenties. It’s hard to explain! I enjoy it but always feel a bit nervous because it’s a different day to normal!

Only if I was hosting as it's a ballache, so we don't host any more! Nobody cares. Small family and we get together at New Year.

Honestly in terms of the day itself it's just a Sunday with a roast and presents.
