Do you enjoy entertaining?

Tweet

I've thought about this quite a bit in my life. My parents LOVED entertaining and they did it quite a bit in their lifetime. Parties at our house had become legendary among their friends. I guess my sister got the bug, too, since, after she got married, she hosted a lot of parties at her house, too. I don't know what happened with me. Usually, during all of those parties, I could be found all alone in a room somewhere reading. I didn't want to have any part of it. And I really don't know why. During my marriage, we talked about having people over and I admitted to my husband that I was very uncomfortable playing the part of hostess. My husband was very gregarious and could make anyone feel comfortable in his home. We did have a few get togethers with just a few people and those went very well only because my husband took the lead. Since I've moved into my apartment, I've had one or two people come over at a time. My place is way too small for any large gathering. But even if I know that two or three people are coming, I get very nervous prior to their arrival. How about you? Do you enjoy entertaining? Claudia photo from pixabay
