Childproof Your Place
If your guests include babies or small
children, be sure to store away any potentially
harmful objects or decor in your home, and
do any necessary childproofing of furniture.
How To Quickly Childproof Your Home For
Visitors
...And Don't Forget the Pets
In the same way that parents will likely arrive
prepared, visitors with pets will probably
also pack everything they need. Still, a nice
gesture would be to ask if they need any extra
pet necessities or food.
Set the Mood
Use scented candles, room
sprays, or diffusers in seasonal
scents to give off a warm,
holiday-ready feel and get
everyone geared up for
festivities. Go the extra step
and stock the guest bathroom with holiday
scented soaps and lotions. Mrs. Meyers makes
wonderful pine and peppermint varieties for
just such an occasions.
Make the Beds
Before guests arrive, make up their beds with
a fresh set of sheets and set out towels and
washcloths for each guest. It's fun to have
an extra set of sheets in a holiday theme. No
need to go all out, keep with your basic solid
colored cover and add pillows and sheets to
update for the season. Inexpensive and easy
to alter after the holidays.
