We have grown accustom to associating the holiday season with an endless calendar full of parties. We’ve done some research and have determined that these seem to be the following reasons for our heavy calendars…
1) Your co-worker has graciously volunteered everyone into a secret Santa drawing
2) Your boss has politely required everyone to attend the company party
3) Your neighbor is throwing a party and everyone in your building is going
4) Your friend has sworn you to the +1 duty for all of their parties
5) Your extended family can’t decide who wants to host the party so everyone has their own, and you must go to each of them.
The list could go on forever! Either way, we know December 1st is opening day for a race to the new year.
In most cases, we usually find ourselves as the guest at all of these parties. We get ready, grab gifts, and venture out to each persons party where we kick back, relax, and socialize. However, there is usually another version to these stories and it generally comes from the host of the party.
Oh yeah, the host! For those lucky individuals, their calendars look something like this…
cleaning, shopping, decorating, cleaning, cooking, shopping, planning, thinking, entertaining, and then more cleaning. It’s really a vicious cycle.
If you happen to be living in the ever-so-popular small apartments in NYC, you will find that the idea of hosting a holiday party could be in the form of a nightmare. Fortunately, we came across a great posting on ApartmentTherapy.com. Check out this post for some great tips on how to make the best use of your small space for your holiday party.
