Holiday hints

•”Whenever guests come to stay with us, we give them the ‘extra keys.’ We had a set of keys made for the house and put them on a key chain with our address written on it. We also make up a little map that can get them home from the major roads.” — B.K. in Florida

•”My neighbor and I share a set of towels. Actually, whenever either of us has extended company, we borrow towels from one another so we don’t have to do laundry when we could be spending time with our guests. Towels seem to dirty quickly.” — N.E. in Oregon
