Christmas is coming up. Christmas coming up means that family
is coming to stay. One way to cut off any potential fighting and
complaining that seems to blossom naturally in the proximity of family
is to keep everyone to comfortable to complain.
is coming to stay. One way to cut off any potential fighting and
complaining that seems to blossom naturally in the proximity of family
is to keep everyone to comfortable to complain.
First go over and above your usual standards of cleanliness. What
is normal for you or even your guests in their own houses stands out
in somebody else’s. When your in-laws walk into your home let them
smell the lemon pledge and cleaning solution. Don’t give anybody
an opening to complain because once that gate opens there’s no
closing it again.

Easiest comfort things you can do for guests is to keep extra blankets
and pillows available. There’s nothing better than having an excess of
warm, soft, and cozy. There’s also no better way to keep people happy
than to provide a good night’s sleep or ample napping opportunities.

Extra disposable toiletries. You know somebody forgot something and
having to struggle to find a replacement or alternative is always a hassle.
Having some sample sized or travel sized toiletries, disposable razors,
toothbrushes on hand will make you the best host.

Make sure the people you are so graciously letting into you home have a
place to put their things. I don’t’ mean a room or place to sleep in. People
feel a hundred percent more at home when they’re not living out of a
suitcase, or at least have the option not to. Make sure they have a drawer
or an empty space in the closet for them to put their stuff.

Make it easy for people to do things for themselves. Keep the coffee stuff in
a basket by the coffee. Show people where the glasses and silverware are
immediately. Believe it or not people don’t like feeling like a guest for long
periods of time. Nobody likes having to ask people for stuff all the time.

Finally, make the Wi-Fi password readily available. Put it on a plaque
somewhere that loudly announces its presence. Trust me, it preemptively
puts everyone in a better mood with internet access. Plus if you do it in a
creative Pinteresty kind of way then it’ll add an extra level of lingering delight.
