Tips for Hosting Houseguests and Christmas Light Installation Over the Holidays – Nashville, Tennessee

It’s that time of year again! Get ready to pull out the air mattress, stock up on toilet paper and wash all the sheets and towels, because here comes the family. If you’re like us, family season starts with Labor Day and runs right through New Years Eve. It’s a treat to have the ones you love in town from afar, but it can also be stressful. Here are some tips to make the holiday season a little more comfortable for your houseguests and less stressful for you. 

Gather Necessities Ahead of Time: Stock up on things like toilet paper, paper towels, extra sheets and blankets a few weeks ahead of time. It seems early, but the closer you get to the holidays, the busier you’re going to get, and you’ll be glad you did it in advance.

Provide Some Little Extras: Sure, you have some shampoo and toothpaste in the guest bathroom, but buying some extra inexpensive slippers and keeping hot cocoa and late-night snacks stocked will make your guests feel right at home.

Make Your Home Look the Part: Get in the Christmas spirit by doing a little more holiday decorating than you would normally do. Don’t stop at a Christmas tree, make sure to put up Christmas lights on the outside of your home, set a holiday table, and decorate the mantle.

Keep the Mood Festive: Have family-friendly holiday movies on hand, and keep some music playing in the main areas to put guests in the holiday sprit. It’s also fun to have the old family photo albums in the sitting room to bring the family together to reminisce.
