With the holiday season upon us, many full-time and part-time residents will be returning to their homes on Lake Nacimiento to celebrate with friends, family and loved ones and to host festive holiday gatherings. The communities surrounding picturesque Lake Nacimiento, including Oak Shores and Heritage Ranch, are fantastic areas to enjoy the sights, activities and ambiance of the season – Whether you host a large gathering with a lot of family and friends or you prefer to keep things simple, quiet and intimate. As a Lake Nacimiento real estate agent proudly serving residents in the area all year, there are certain universal tips that homeowners can follow to ensure their Lake Nacimiento home stays beautiful throughout the holidays – Whether it’s your first time hosting a party or you enjoy inviting loved ones over to celebrate the season each and every year!
Be Careful with Holiday Lighting. While candles are certainly festive and add a particular ambiance to any home, they should be used with extra caution. Be sure to keep lit candles out of reach of youngsters and children that may accidentally knock them over. Additionally, candles should be kept away from any holiday decorations, Christmas trees and other combustible materials. I always recommend that residents decking their Lake Nacimiento home out for the holidays should be sure to use flame-resistant and flame-retardant decorations whenever possible.
Keep Your Tree Beautiful AND Safe. One of the cornerstones of Christmas is a carefully decorated tree. If you prefer to use an artificial tree inside your home, check the label to ensure that it is fire-resistant before purchasing. If you’re one of many throughout Lake Nacimiento, Heritage Ranch and Oak Shores that opt to decorate with a live tree, be sure to set it up away from fireplaces, radiators, space heaters, furnaces and other hazardous areas. Cutting a few inches off of the tree trunk will expose the fresh wood and help to keep your tree from drying out too quickly. Keeping the tree stand filled with water will also help to keep the tree from drying out and becoming more of a fire hazard.
Ensure Guests are Warm and Comfortable. One of the most stressful aspects of hosting a holiday gathering is ensuring that there is space for everyone and that all of your guests are comfortable. Whether you have enough furniture or choose to rent additional tables and chairs, be sure that guests know which rooms are available to sit, mingle, eat, drink and socialize. It is also important to ensure that whichever bathroom(s) in your Lake Nacimiento home are designated for guests are clean and have plenty of hand soap, towels and toilet paper. Hosts can also arrange to have carpets and ducts professionally cleaned prior to their holiday party for exceptional air quality and comfort.
First Impressions Matter. Just because it’s winter in Lake Nacimiento doesn’t mean that we should renege on our landscaping duties! By keeping lawns neat, driveways, sidewalks and patios free of snow and ice, and bushes, trees and other foliage manicured, guests are sure to feel both welcomed and safe.
My goal is to assist both buyers and sellers navigating the Lake Nacimiento real estate market, and also to engage the local communities and their current residents in all of what our lovely area has to offer!
