The welcome
The most important part of celebrating Christmas at home begins with providing a good reception. Therefore, it’s essential to organize the entrance of your home. Do this as follows:
- Welcome decoration: hang a beautiful doily and wreath on your door. From the first moment, your guests will feel the Christmas atmosphere.
- Covid protocol: place a table near the door where you can put some antibacterial sanitizer for your family to use before entering your home.
- Coat and shoe racks: since you’re welcoming your most-loved family members have spaces where you can put their coats, bags, and shoes.
Decorate all your spaces
You’re all celebrating Christmas! A beautiful time, full of colors and lights, so this should be clear no matter where in the house your family members are. Decorate each corner of your home in tune with the decorative style you’ve chosen for this year.
If you’re still looking for ideas, remember that you can include flowers, candles, and some cute picture frames to remember the happiest moments. Why not dedicate a space to remember your lost loved ones?
Customize your table: Christmas at home
One of the most special places at Christmas is the table. This is where you and your guests will gather to enjoy a delicious meal, during which, anecdotes, memories, and important news are usually shared and discussed.
This year, let your guests know that their seats at your table have been waiting for them. Include some Christmas decorations for each chair where you place a card with the name of each person.
A couple of weeks before the celebration, take the time to recall their tastes and preferences and put something in each position that holds a special meaning for that person.
Make your guests feel at home
Although this year’s guests are your closest family members, they may feel a little uncomfortable in a space that isn’t theirs. So make them feel at home, let them wear some cute Christmas slippers or socks.
Place cushions and blankets on the armchairs so that they can shelter from the cold and don’t forget to clean your rugs well in case children want to sit on the floor. Add some natural flowers to your tables to decorate your home with their delicious fragrance and generate more warmth. You can complement them with scented candles.
Offer a meal suitable for all tastes
Pleasing the tastes of all diners can be complex. However, it’s worth making the effort just to see the excited faces of your relatives when they find their favorite food on your table.
The simplest thing is to offer a buffet-style meal in which there are different preparations. This way, each person can help themselves to the food that they prefer.
Don’t forget to decorate your table with a beautiful Christmas tablecloth, which can be stain-resistant for added peace of mind. Set up some table arrangements with garlands, candles, and flowers.
Christmas at home: give a gift to each guest
To close the tips on organizing a Christmas celebration at home with a flourish, offer a gift to each of your guests. It doesn’t have to be something expensive, but it should be something that holds a lot of meaning for your guests.
You can offer something different to each person or give identical gifts.
Enjoy your Christmas celebration at home like never before!
Beyond decorations, gifts, and food, the important thing is that you and your guests enjoy a unique Christmas. By being in a safe environment, ensure that everyone takes the opportunity to be together again and make new memories. Reward them for being the great family that they are.
