The best time of the year is quickly approaching! The holidays are about getting family and friends together and celebrating what matters most: community.  In order to prepare for the upcoming holidays and make the most of our precious time together, it helps to have a home that is set up for hosting and entertaining guests. Whether you’re hosting a large Christmas party, keeping it small with an intimate Thanksgiving dinner, enjoying family traditions with your immediate family, or all of the above, there’s no place like a Pahlisch home to enjoy this special time with loved ones. 

Hosting the Holidays in a Pahlisch Home

Our open-concept floor plans are the perfect space to host both Thanksgiving dinner and Christmas morning. Pahlisch homes have plenty of room to cook a holiday meal while family and friends play board games in the other room. There is space to cook together, open presents, and relax by the fireplace with a mug of hot chocolate. 

Our kitchens are spacious, even in our smaller homes. There is plenty of counter space for the chef of the family to prepare dishes to feed all your guests. The under-cabinet windows in the kitchen provide additional lighting, which maximizes the light coming in from outside. Some of our floor plans have spacious walk-in pantries that allow for maximum food storage to feed all your holiday guests. You’ll never run out of snacks with our large pantries!

Several of our floor plans also have dining rooms which provide extra space for families and friends to gather around a dining room table and sit down for a holiday meal. These dining rooms are spacious, and offer plenty of room for everyone, no matter how big or small your gathering is.

Our homes also offer additional flex spaces to create a guest room for out-of-town guests who are planning to stay for an extended time this holiday season. For additional ideas of what to turn your flex space into, read our flex space blog here.

On mild Pacific Northwest winter days, the gathering can move outside so everyone can enjoy the fresh air. Some of our homes include a covered back patio for outdoor entertaining, as well as a backyard fire pit to keep you and your guests warm. If it’s a crisp and sunny day, or if the snow is falling and you don’t want to miss the beautiful flakes, you don’t need to stay inside!
