How to Make This Christmas Extra Special – By Alice Waterman
Hey there, it's Alice again, and I’m back with some fun, easy ideas to make this holiday season extra special.
Christmas is all about spreading love and creating memories, so here are some simple tips to make the day a little easier, whether you're hosting or just hanging out.
Help Your Host Feel Supported
Good guests make good hosts! Even small things can take the pressure off:
Serve food and drinks to keep things flowing.
Jump in with games and activities to keep the mood fun.
Help prep dessert or pitch in with clean-up when the feast is over.
Be Thoughtful About Leftovers
Don’t let all that yummy food go to waste! Here’s what you can do:
Offer to pack up leftovers for guests to take home.
If there’s still plenty of food left, donate it to a local group to help out those in need.
Take Care of the Little Things
Sometimes, it’s the small stuff that makes a big difference:
Feed and take care of pets, so they’re happy and comfy.
Water the plants around the house to keep things fresh.
Help tidy up by picking up wrapping paper and recycling it.
Look After Kids and Pets
Got kids or pets with you? Make sure you know where they are and what they’re up to. This helps keep things safe and stress-free for everyone.
Offer Kindness and Positivity
A little kindness goes a long way during the holidays. Keep things light, fun, and positive. Try to avoid anything that might bring down the vibe—happy energy creates a relaxed and festive atmosphere.
Tidy Up Before You Leave
If you're staying over, make sure to:
Strip your bed and tidy up before heading out.
Put gifts away to keep the space looking neat.
Check in with your host to see if there’s anything else you can help with before you go.
A Final Thought
Christmas is all about coming together, helping each other out, and making memories that last. Whether you're pitching in for your host, keeping an eye on the kids or pets, or just spreading some cheer, these simple tips will make this Christmas extra special.
