The past couple years may have you feeling a little out of practice, but not to worry, our experts at Bazaar Home Decorating are here to help you transform your home and leave you feeling prepared to host all season long.

Conversation is Key

Oftentimes with holiday gatherings, most of the conversation and togetherness happens between the family room and kitchen where many people can stand together. However, there are certainly times when family or friends who haven’t spoken in a long time would prefer a bit more intimate of a setting to chat.

Switch Things Up with New Traditions

What a better year to bring in some new traditions if you’re looking to switch things up a bit with your holiday gatherings this year?

Resorting to the large family dinner is always a classic, and for good reason! It can be so special to have all of your loved ones under one roof celebrating and visiting together. However, if you’re looking to change it up a bit, a smaller group gathering can be fun too!

Who Doesn’t Love Brunch?: With the busy holiday season, dinners may not always be feasible for everyone’s schedules. Why not try out a brunch? Everyone will love the food and the quality time spent together.

Try an Open House: If you have a large family, this can be a fun and accommodating way to include everyone while keeping in mind the full schedules everyone has. An open house style gatherings allows you, as the host, to relieve some of the pressure because not everyone will be filling your home at the same exact time, yet you still get to visit with all of your loved ones throughout the day!

Responsibilities Can Be Split: Co-hosting with someone else is a great way to share the responsibilities of hosting, the cooking, cleaning, and prep work.
