More things your overnight guests won't tell you

So lets be clear about this......I have broken every single one of these rules!!

Let me help you out here
so you don't make the same mistakes I have made who knows how many times.

Lets review yesterdays post.

1.  Your guest bed is saggy, like concrete or just plain uncomfortable.

2.  Your guest bed sheets are like burlap.

3. Your guest bed pillows are flat and hard like a petrified pancake...or worse yet lumpy and stinky.

4.  Your pets stink....and so does your house.

I gave you solutions...or at least suggestions on how to avoid these faux pas in yesterdays post.

What your overnight guests won't tell you 

Be sure to come back and finish reading
this post
"More things your overnight guest won't tell you."

So what other things are your overnight guests not telling you???

1.  THEY ARE FREEZING!!

I happen to hate HIGH utility bills and because of that fact you learn to dress warmly in our home.
Our solution to avoid those outrageous utility bills are the following:
If you are chilly put on a sweater....
If your feet are cold wear socks and slippers
and if your hands are cold....what do you think they make fingerless gloves for???

Yes I wear fingerless gloves....and I love them.....but most guests don't want to walk around in your home wearing fingerless gloves, caps, earmuffs and down jackets just to avoid frost bite. 
An easy solution to make your guests warm and cozy would be to

TURN UP THE HEATER IN THE HOUSE!!

Remember that older folks don't have as good as circulation as those younger ones and they are probably freezing and miserable.

So a good rule of thumb is to set the heater to 72.   

(Trust me as a menopausal woman that is

WAY too warm for me

but typically not for your guests)

And to be an extra thoughtful host provide extra throws in the guest bedroom and
also place them oh so stylishly on your sofa and chairs.

Doesn't the throw on that brown leather chair look comfy?

Okay and last but not least.......
About that HOLIDAY MUSIC......
really about the time I have heard
Little Drummer Boy 
 for the umpteenth time I am about ready to scream. 
Trust me as my kids will certainly vouch.....
I  LOVE HOLIDAY MUSIC!!
And every once in a while they will give me that
GLAZED look expression
and suddenly I get the message. 
Oops.....that usually means everyone has overdosed on the music....
so do yourself a favor make a
holiday play list and mix in current music
that will appeal to all of your overnight guests. 

Okay so that wasn't too bad right?

So the holidays are almost upon us......one last piece of advice.......
and one I intend to follow

(maybe with the help of a Tequila Gimlet or two)

RELAX and ENJOY!!
