How Do I Host the Holidays Without Losing My Mind?

December arrives loudly, full of charm and chaos in equal measure. Even the calmest among us can feel the pressure to rush through a season meant to be savored. But holiday hospitality isn’t measured in menus or perfectly kept traditions. It lives in the glow of the tree at dawn, in honest food shared after a parade, in the quiet confidence of opening your door just as you are. People aren’t coming for a perfect Christmas—they’re coming for a warm one.
