    NO DRUGS! Eat a banana or two in the car on the way there. The potassium will regulate your heartbeat and lower your blood pressure, making you calmer and more at ease. I always do that before concerts and recitals, as well as interviews, and I think it really helps, even if it's just the ritual. :grin:

    I agree :eusa_clap . If I didn't go, my boyfriend would be pissed and I would probably imbibe in too much Christmas cheer, feeling sorry for myself.

    I'm definitely going, and I'm going to have fun. :grin: Buys bananas and stops at German drug store to ask for Rescue Remedy.

    Just an update on how things went.

    As most of you said, I had nothing to worry about. I had a great time and was made to feel totally at home, all warm and fuzzy inside. We won the kids over (nephews aged 3 & 5) with Sponge Bob Lego toys that cost a small fortune and come in a million pieces :eek: . Turkey dinner was fantastic and we had fun playing board and card games. All in all, a very nice Christmas. :icon_bigg

    Our "Rescue Remedy" turned out to be beer which worked out fine.

    And the Sponge Bob Lego stuff is for kids 7-12. Did somebody lie on their profile? :slight_smile:

    He thought it went very well. He only planned to stay a couple of hours but we were there like 8 hours +. Yeah, it does bring you closer. It's a very high level of trust when you get to know your boyfriend's family so intimately. Very cool.:icon_cool

    Wow, didn't know there were so many Lego fans. :icon_bigg
