Hosting Out Of Town Relatives This Holiday Season?

Is Your Home the Gathering Place for Family and Friends During the Holidays? Zillow has put together this important list to keep out-of-town guests happy, and to keep your title as the calm and hospitable host.

1) TURN 'EM LOOSE IN TOWN

WHILE THE MAIN PURPOSE OF THE VISIT IS TO SEE YOU, REMEMBER THAT THEY ARE ON VACATION AND WANT TIME TO EXPLORE THE TOWN.

2) HAVE FOOD AT HAND

HUNGRY GUESTS ARE GRUMPY GUESTS.  MAKE SURE THEY KNOW THAT THEY HAVE FREE REIGN OF THE KITCHEN.

3) MAKE THEM FEEL AT HOME.

PROVIDE THEM WITH A SPACE TO RELAX AND GET AWAY FROM THE HUSTLE AND BUSTLE OF THE HOLIDAYS.

4) PUT THEM TO WORK.

WHEN GUESTS INSIST ON HELPING, TAKE THEM UP ON IT!

5) GAMES, MOVIES AND CARDS

FOR DOWN TIMES OR WHEN YOU JUST NEED A BREAK, MAKE SURE THERE ARE STILL FUN ACTIVITIES AT HAND FOR ENTERTAINMENT.
