Christmas is almost here! Here are some ways to prepare your home for family and friends this holiday season.
Create an inviting guest space. Guest rooms are often used as extra storage areas – clear out the clutter and make sure there are no personal items laying around. Provide a full set of towels, extra warm blankets, and other items that your guests may need. Stock your guest bathroom with basic toiletries and extra toilet paper, and include festive touches like a pine-scented candle or soap.
Prep your eating areas. If you are planning to host a formal meal, lightly iron your tablecloths and cloth napkins, or use wrinkle release spray. Wipe down your fine china and polish your silverware, or stock up on high-quality disposable dinnerware to keep cleaning easy. Create space for food prep and serving by clearing your counters of clutter and extra appliances.
Clear the clutter from your entryway, and create spaces for people to place their shoes, coats, and other outdoor wear. Consider installing a row of coat hooks or purchase a coat rack to keep track of outerwear. Purchase a couple of inexpensive shoe racks with enough room to accommodate tall winter boots.
Deck your home with holiday cheer. Consider quick and easy ways to add festive touches to your home. Use plug-in scents or warm holiday-scented essential oils as a safe alternative to burning candles. Spray pine scent on your tree and garland. Keep your favorite holiday tunes playing throughout the day, or stream a holiday-themed online radio station.
Don’t forget the little ones! Keep puzzles, crayons, drawing pads, and other activities within easy reach to entertain your youngest guests. Arrange for the kids to create easy holiday crafts, such as paper snowflakes or candy cane reindeers. Plan on streaming some family-friendly holiday movies that everyone can enjoy together.
