Three quarters of U.S. adults will lose sleep this Christmas season worrying about their holiday dinner, says the WearEver Christmas Dinner poll. In fact, men are almost as worried as women about this year’s holiday fare and more than a third claim they will lose sleep this holiday season because all the dishes in a meal won’t be ready at once. One in four U.S. adults fear they won’t prepare enough of a particular course. Twenty percent of adults think that no matter how good their cooking is, it still won’t live up to “mom’s holiday meal.” Twenty-five percent of men and 20 percent of women are worried that dinner won’t quite live up to their traditional favorites. Forty-five percent of those surveyed express concern about finding the time to get everything done, while 20 percent say the toughest part about putting on a holiday dinner is being certain they buy everything they need. © Copyright 2005 by United Press International
