Make Room for Holiday Memories In Your Orange County Home
The Orange County weather is marginally cooler and Halloween is history - the holiday season has officially begun. It is never too early to begin preparing your home for holiday gatherings. Making a plan and accomplishing a few tasks each day will reduce the stress of the season, allowing you to enjoy the time with your loved ones.
How many guests will you be having? Start now to prepare enough seating and clean and organize the rooms that need attention. Keep in mind that kids really do enjoy their own special place to gather, almost as much as the grown-ups enjoy kids having their own space.
Create a welcoming atmosphere in your home by keeping your decorations simple, but festive. The holiday will be more relaxed for everyone if you take time to plan out the meal and the corresponding serving dishes well in advance. If you are taking the time to create lovely and delicious food, you might as well find a beautiful way to display it.
A big part of a successful holiday is making your guests comfortable in your home. Be sure every bathroom is well stocked with toilet paper, towels, and other toiletries. Clear out a closet or other space for guests to leave their jackets. Clean and make room in the refrigerator, especially if others are bringing items to share. Freshen the carpet and deodorize your home. A pleasant scent can really go a long way.
Guests also need a comfortable place to relax before and after the meal (OK, OK, it's really to watch the game, I know!) Bring out extra throw pillows, blankets, chairs, and don’t forget some toys and activities for the children. Making preparations now will make a difference in your holiday celebrations.
