Christmas and the New Year are some of the most popular times for the whole family to get together. While it can be stressful feeding and entertaining everyone – even for just a few days – it’s something that very few of us don’t want to do again when it comes to next year. Until then, when decisions have to be made about who spends Christmas where and with whom, it’s important to keep up with a number of traditions that usually fall away because people are busy. Keeping in touch with immediate, close and distant family is important and Casa Bella wants to help you do that as best we can!

Quality family time

We have become accustomed to eating whenever and wherever we want or need to, even at home. A lot of families will sit in front of the TV or on their own to eat because they are busy or just out of habit but it’s different over Christmas and the New Year, where we generally sit at the table for every meal. It’s something we do over the holidays because we are told we must but it gives everyone a chance to enjoy their meal and catch up on things they may have missed, or what they’ve done or learned through the day or week. This means you need a good dining table set, and we’d have to recommend the Ibis Rattan 6 Seater Dining Set - Satara Table as the perfect option for your family and guests. It looks great and it’s comfortable for every meal.

It doesn’t have to be everyday if your schedule doesn’t allow it but a couple of times a week can bring your family close together, even if it’s just the ones living at home and the occasional guest. This becomes a regular part of a family life and means you’ll always have an opportunity to find out what’s going on in each other’s lives and become much closer together.

Finding common ground

That’s not to say that time in front of the TV can’t be done as a family either. Perhaps there’s a show you all like to watch, or a certain kind of film. Why watch them alone when you can watch them as a family and even spend more time talking about it after or before – but not during we know how annoying that can be!

It doesn’t even have to be the television. Game consoles are increasing in popularity and they’re targeting new audiences such as families so that there can be something for everyone. From light-hearted games to exercise focused activities, there’s something for everyone and your entire family can have a good time together. The beauty of our TV Units is that they can hold everything you want or need, such as the Satara Mango Dakota Large Media Unit, which is big enough to hold your TV, console and any other devices and accessories you have.

Keeping in touch over long distances

Unfortunately, some of the family might not be close enough to see regularly but the rise of the internet over the last couple of decades have given us new ways to keep in touch, with e-mails and video calling available as well as more options. If you’re going to spend time in front of a computer or laptop, make sure you have the right desk that gives you room to do the work you have as well as enjoy yourself and keep in touch with distant relations. Our Mandir Sheesham Computer Desk is a great example of a functional desk that looks great.
