Throwing a Christmas Party: How to Make your Fireplace Festive

There is a lot of pressure on the hosts when they throw a Christmas party for their friends and family. While there is no doubt that Christmas brings a lot of cheer, it is also true that it puts a lot of burden on the people who host these large gatherings at their homes. Anyone hosting a Christmas party has to provide great food and ensure their home is festively decorated. While there are many areas where decorations are required to achieve this objective, a key area remains the home’s fireplace. This is because the fireplace is normally the place around which people gather. Here are a few tips to help you make your fireplace festive and Christmassy!

Use Christmas Stockings

The sight of Christmas stockings hanging over the fireplace is such a common sight that it seems like Christmas has not arrived until the stockings are visible near the fireplace. It is a beautiful tradition and provides the opportunity for a nice exercise with the kids where they can get excited about the holiday season. You can match the colour of the stockings with how you decorate the rest of the fireplace and enhance the look of your living room.

Spell Out a Festive Slogan

Christmas is associated with feelings of happiness and togetherness and you can make the fireplace festive for your Christmas party by spelling out a nice and cheerful Christmas message over your fireplace. Buzzwords like ‘Joy’ or ‘Love’ may seem slightly cheesy when you first consider the idea but they will eventually have a great impact on the overall atmosphere of the house. The interaction with the festive slogan repeatedly would remind everyone about a core theme of the Christmas party and it would ensure that everyone’s behaviour reflects this message during the party as well.

Try Homemade Decorations

Homemade decorations are a great idea for the fireplace as it would help everybody bond together while making the decorations. From wreaths to candles and from ribbons to flowers, many decoration items can be made at home with everybody pitching in their different talents for this cause. It would add a personal touch to the proceedings and make it all the more wonderful.

The most versatile way to cook, the two-zone fire is your first choice for cooking most foods on the barbeque. To create a two-zone fire, position coals on one side of the barbeque for direct, high-heat cooking and searing and leave the other side empty. You can use the side without coals for lower-temperature cooking and as a safe zone for flare-ups. 1) Light the coals Light your coals using a chimney starter, Match Light® Charcoal or lighter fluid. For high heat, use a full chimney of charcoal or light a pile of about 100 briquets. 2) Spread out coals on one side of the barbeque Pour out your hot coals on one side or use a spatula or tongs to carefully move all the coals to cover 50 per cent of the lower barbeque grate. 3) Leave the other side of the barbeque coal-free This void space, free of coals directly underneath the grates, is still hot. Food will cook there — just not as fast as on the direct side, right above the coals. 4) Cook your food on the appropriate zo...
