Ensure the house is warm. Close blinds for privacy (privacy is not the enemy of freedom; unwanted guests are). Set out robes for those who get cold. Light candles.
At Christmas, this manifests as a true "family gathering." There are no distractions. You cannot scroll through your phone as easily when your hands are free and the vibe is focused on connection. Family games are physical. Cooking the Christmas dinner becomes a collaborative art project—someone preps the carrots, someone bastes the turkey, all in a state of cheerful, unjudged collaboration.
