🎄😁😄SMILE: Tis the Season to be jolly ..... 🎄😁😀

😀😁🎄Please could you share your POSITIVE tips for everyone’s survival! 🎄😁😀

Some of you will be working your butts off over Christmas tending to many guests and turnarounds.

For me it’s the low season... and do I decide to stay on red tinsel alert for the occasional guest gracing our threshold, or do I bite the bullet and close shop for the holidays?

Do you welcome your guests, in as part of the family Xmas?

Do you have a secret tip to balancing family, friends and guests alike? 

Do you celebrate Christmas as a spiritual or religious time, or do you go full on with the hype and commercialism. Or for whatever reason, does the season pass as another day, unnoticed......

So what I really want to know.... do you have any constructive ideas or tips? 

So what will make you smile this Xmas? 

What will you do to get through it? 

Do you prepare differently? Do you  decorate, not knowing if guests celebrate the Christmas holiday? Extra treats?

What’s happening in your neck of the woods!

First time Airbnb host here and I’m excited for the holidays. Just got done adding a few holiday decor to Tiny Cabin by the Lake.

Love these photos @Rinny0, your home looks so cozy and inviting. 🙂 Are you finding lots of guests are booking to stay over this period?

(I've spun your top photos around, I hope this is ok).

Thank you so much - I was wondering how to do that.  We are booked for the month of Dec - mostly weekends. We have one guest staying for a week which is nice. All in all the response has been great and we are in our off- season. 😄

Oh @Rinny0, that’s lovely, and the carollers are so cute!

Because our climate is HOT, I love my red but have to use it sparingly. My Christmas palette has changed from when I lived in cooler (but still summer) states.
