Holiday house cleaning? I need to get my house ready, I mean really ready, for the holidays. The dishes are washed, the beds are made, etc, but I need to do the extra stuff like dust, clean bathrooms, floors, etc. My question is should I do it now, or wait until closer? Do you clean for the holiday guest that may be comming to see you? I feel better when the house looks really nice, but just can't find the energy to do it. I have had this terrible cold.

looking after a holiday house, what do I do about laundry? Hi I am cleaning a holiday house for a friend. There is a two week booking coming up soon, as there are no laundry facilities at the house, what would holiday makers expect regarding bedding/towels. This is my friend's first booking so we aren't quite sure! Should we offer that after a week I would bring their bedding/towels to my house and launder, or do we leave spare bedding/towels, enough to last two weeks. What does anyone think? Thanks

The house needs to be exquisite.

How can I make Thanksgiving a fun holiday at my house? Thanksgiving at my house is much more boring than any other normal day. We wait hours for the food to be done (me and my brother just get in the way of the kitchen)...then we eat for 20 minutes, then my parents sleep the rest of the day because the turkey made them "tired", and me and my brother usually just watch tv the rest of the day. I hate thanksgiving at my house, how can I try to make it enjoyable holiday

Holiday House Rentals - My Rights - Compensation for facilities not provided? Hi there, a group of my friends and I recently returned from a week long holiday on the coast where we rented someone's house. We contacted the owner directly, so we did not go through an agent. The reason we chose the house had a lot to do with the fact that it had a spa, however when we arrived we found that it did not work, and according to the owner he wouldn't be able to get someone out to fix it until the day we were leaving. I was just wondering what my rights are as a renter? Am I entitled to some sort of compensation for there not being a working spa? If so, how much? Cheers

How can I incorporate the remains of my hurricane-destroyed house into a festive holiday centerpeice? I expect my so-far-so-lucky house will be finally finished off by this season's hurricanes.

Who has any ideas on how to create a centerpeice using fallen dreams, destroyed lives, and crushed memories? Maybe I can stick it together using a residue made from ocean water and tears ... Thanks to all creative and innovative answers!
How Do You Handle Santa Claus And All Of The Other Holiday Myths In Your House? I don't want to get into a debate but many people are now secularizing themselves away from religion. Many of the holiday characters especially Santa Claus are linked with Christianity and other religions. I wanted to know if you still raise your kids into believing in The Easter Bunny, Santa Claus, Tooth Fairy or you are not bothering at all with the fairy tale stories. Just curious to see what newer parents are raising their kids to believe. i was raised on all of the myth fairy tale holiday characters and was quite devastated when I found out they were not real and i was lied to about all of this by my parents.

My boss is having a holiday party at her house and she's the head boss so I bought a bottle of wine? This is my first "real" job and I bought my boss (the host) of the party a bottle of wine. I just work in the office doing accounting related stuff but she still knows I exist and talks to me. I thought a bottle of white wine (which I knows she drinks because I over heard some other people say it) would be a good gift for her. Do you think it's a good gift? I've never given a gift to a boss before.

Remember the Holiday House Hamburger Joint in Austin? I'm looking for the recipe to their Hickory Sauce.? There was a chain of restaurants in Austin called Holiday House Hamburgers. One of the restaurants had fish tanks; one had a huge bird cage and an alligator, if I'm not mistaken. They had the best hamburger sauce I'd ever tasted. It was on the #5 Flameburger. It was a hickory sauce and the burger was meat, bread, onions and this fabulous sauce. Did anyone reading this happen to work there and remember the recipe to this sauce? I would love to have it. You would make my mom very happy since she used to eat them all the time during her college years. Unfortunately, they are out of business now.

Is "staying at a friends house" valid accomodation for US holiday visa? I'm studying in america next year and would at some point like some of my friends from the UK to visit. My question is, would I be able to let them stay in my accomodation for the duration of their holiday? The reason I ask is I know American immigration is quite suspicious, so they might insist on them having certified written accomodation such as a hotel. Thanks
