Tips for a successful set-up

  • Tip

    Be prepared for unexpected overnight guests. Have extra beds, cots and sleeping bags easily accessible.

    Put away all the clutter. Decide what you won't need during the holiday season, and clear it out to make more room for holiday décor.

  • Tip

    Welcome your guests by putting together a basket of essentials for their use. Include soaps, towels, and toiletries.

  • Tip

    Keep track of where and how you decorate by taking pictures of your holiday décor as you set things up. It will be a time-saving tactic for the following year.
