Hi Chris,
I know how you must be feeling - any social gatherings have the same effect on me and I'm on edge the moment I walk out of the front door, thesedays! I had to spend Christmas with family this year and I too was particularly uneasy with the thought of that. However, it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and I'm glad that I didn't go down with one of my last minute 'mystery' illnesses that I usually get when I don't want to go somewhere

Anyway, I'm sure you'll be fine - you don't look 50yrs of age, by the way!!!
Sending lots of positive thoughts/vibes your way
