Do a little something extra. (Emphasis on little).

In our opinion, yes. If you’ve got guests staying with you on a holiday you celebrate, we’d recommend doing a little something extra to acknowledge the special circumstances. But emphasis on little. Really. We’re talking about something super small, not yet another weighty thing added to your holiday to-do list.

The easiest example of this is sharing a little something you’re already eating or drinking with your guests. Most holidays come with an abundance of food, so siphoning off just a little for your guests can be that thoughtful touch they’ll remember for years. (Seriously. We still remember the flutes of homemade chocolate mousse our hosts brought upstairs to us on a Thanksgiving we spent in an old Victorian house in Connecticut. After our makeshift meal for two, it was the best thing we ate all day.)
