Take It Easy!
Holiday time can be stressful, especially if you are expecting house guests . The key to being a successful host or hostess is preparation.
- Get Ready. Prepare guest accommodations at least a week before your visitors are due to arrive.
- Set Priorities. Let your guests know about any work-related deadlines or priorities that will occupy your time while they are visiting.
- Keep Things Simple. Plan easy-to-fix meals that don’t require a lot of preparation since your visitors will want you to spend time with them, not in the kitchen.
- Don’t Over Plan. Allow your guests free time to come and go as they please and pursue their own interests. Don’t plan every minute of their visit.
- Don’t Do Everything Yourself! Accept offers of help! Your guests will feel more relaxed if they know they have contributed to the smooth running of the household.
