Whether youâre preparing Christmas for guests in a hotel or for loved ones at home â in truth, itâs almost the same. Both worlds revolve around one thing: creating warmth, joy, and belonging for others.
In hotels, itâs a dance of light and laughter â the hum of kitchens, the sparkle of polished glasses, the quiet pride of a perfectly laid table.
Each detail whispers care.
And behind it all, the people â the heart of hospitality â giving their time, their smiles, their calm, even when the hours grow long.
It’s not about perfection
Letâs never forget to be kind and thankful to all those who care for others during the festive season (and yes, they do appreciate an extra tip đ).
Because yes, itâs one of the busiest times of the year. And yes, something will always go wrong â a plate breaks, a delivery runs late, a guest gets tired, a plan goes sideways. But what truly matters is the spirit that carries everyone through: the shared âyes, we canâ, the laughter that rises even when something burns, the grace to begin again.
At home, itâs not so different. The lists, the timing, the decoration â they mirror the backstage rhythm of a hotel. And yet, when we pause, breathe, and look around, we realise: this, too, is hospitality â creating a space of warmth, care, and welcome.
So hereâs to all the hosts â in grand hotels and in tiny kitchens. To every hand that folds napkins, lights candles, and pours tea with love. To everyone who keeps the spirit alive when things get messy.
Because in the end, itâs not perfection that makes Christmas beautiful â itâs presence.
And as every true hotelier knows: a good mise en place is everything. đŤâ¨
