We all have our favorite spaces in our homes that we love to sit back, enjoy a nice cup of joe and read a book or spend time with a loved one.

It’s hard to believe Christmas has already come and gone once again. What a wonderful time of year to gather with loved ones from near and far enjoy wonderful food, exchange gifts, and ultimately celebrate the greatest gift of all, our Lord and Savior. This season always reminds us of how important it is to have our priorities in check especially as the new year approaches. As we have seen from so many around us, New Years Resolutions seem to be great for the first and second week of January but then seem to lessen as the days go by. This year, we would like to recommend a new kind of New Year’s Resolution that we believe will greatly impact 2020.

With just a blink of an eye, we went from Halloween to the month of December. It’s hard to believe the holidays are officially upon us, but what a wonderful time it is to be surrounded by those we love and remember the reason for the season. In this blog post, we are going to give three ways that can help you host a wonderful Christmas party without breaking the bank.
Appetizers and Snacks
When hosting a Christmas party in your home or in a gathering hall, it’s important to note the experience you’d like your guests to take part in. Appetizers and snacks are an excellent way of showing hospitality towards your guests as they enter and are getting comfortable at your gathering. Rest assured, these snacks do not have to be lobster or a fancy punch. Consider selecting a cheese and cracker tray, with little holiday candies or chocolate-dipped pretzels with hot chocolate and coffee. These simple gestures, not only make your guests feel appreciated, but it also extends the invite that you were expecting them and are glad that they are there.

Enough Seating
We bet there has been a gathering that you attended that ran out of seating during the holiday season. Playing musical chairs at a Christmas gathering in order to find a spot to sit makes a guest feel unwelcome and uncomfortable. Be sure to always plan on five extra places to sit and about three extra table-settings in case you have a late addition.

Ice Breaker Activity
Our final recommendation as you are prepping to host a party during the holidays is to have an ice breaker activity. Even if your gathering is simply a small family group, it is always good to get your guests smiling, laughing, and mingling with those at your party. This allows for any tension, uncomfortable circumstances, or a single guest to feel at home and welcome with the group.
