Top 5 tips to enjoy Christmas as the host.

1 Enjoy yourself.

Remember that Christmas day is only a few hours so do enjoy yourself. Let go and relax, have fun and take into consideration that it can never be a military precision perfect day. Take time to savour the food and music. Being the host should not keep you away from all the fun.

2 Delegate tasks.

The old adage states that no man is an island. You can delegate some of the tasks such as dshing up, serving guests, washing guests’ hands, tidying up after eating and putting order in the house. You cannot be expected to do all the chores by yourself. If possible you can hire some house help for the day.

3 Do it your way.

Do not try to impress your guests too much to the point of straining yourself. Your in-laws and friends can surely understand that you are not a machine. Take short breaks in between chores.

4 Go with the flow

Do not play hostess all the time. You can show your guests where everything is and they can help themselves when they require something such as water, refreshments or snacks.

5 Don’t break the bank.

Do not go out of your budget to ty and impress guests. Work within your budget and buy according to your wallet’s strength. People tend to go overboard on Christmas day only to languish in financial strain afterwards.
