Holidays are family affairs, but it is also a great time of year to open up your home to a stranger in need. Inviting a family that is new to town into your home is not only welcoming to them, but also teaches your children your values. If you choose to invite people into your home, start by asking them their plans in casual conversation. You can organize a potluck to normalize the idea of staying in town amongst a large group of people.
Key Takeaways:
- Parents are passing on their values to their children and teaching them empathy by opening their home to someone in need of a place to go during the holidays.
- Having a guest may also be an enriching experience for you and your family as they be able to give you a different perspective of your holiday or even help keep family members on their best behavior,
- Some may feel more comfortable admitting that they don’t have plans for the holidays during casual conversation. Especially if they’re made to feel like this is common.
