[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Poor OP, I hope you are still up for this visit! I’d be terrified by this point if I were you reading this thread.[/quote]

I'm not terrified. This is helpful. I still don't understand why it's bad for me to want to contribute more than just muffins and wine, but I'll just stick to that, as apparently I shouldn't be stepping on toes by wanting to contribute more. It's fine. I'll stay in my lane. [/quote]

For this holiday I would only take what DIL has said to bring and just go with the flow. None of us know your DIL she may be super relaxed or she may be slightly annoyed at the extra food and see it as stepping on her toes, so I guess play it safe and just go along with what she has asked, you can't be criticised for that.  As you spend more holidays together then I'm sure it will be more relaxed to ask to bring other stuff.  Let DIL have the excitement of doing this Christmas, just go and enjoy the holiday.  If anything goes wrong then make light of it and move on quickly from it.

It's nice of them to want to host and share the holiday.  I'm sure you will have a great time.  [/quote]
