Is Your Man Cave Ready for Christmas?

This time of year, families generally fall into two camps. The first kicks their Halloween pumpkins to the curb on November 1 and immediately begins filling the air with Christmas carols. The artificial tree comes out of its closet. And the stockings are hung by the chimney with care all before the first real cold snap of the season. The second type of family suppresses any talk of Christmas until the Thanksgiving turkey has been completely consumed, Black Friday deals have been snagged, and Cyber Monday is on the horizon.

It doesn’t matter how adamantly you ward off the family from using your man cave for Christmas. Somehow, you’ll be forced to introduce some holiday cheer into your space. Ask yourself the questions below to make sure your man cave is ready for Christmas.

Have You Decorated?

If you’re hosting a holiday party, chances are your man cave is going to be part of the entertaining space. Whether you’re hosting your best friends, a work gathering, or Christmas Eve night with your extended family, your man cave will need some decoration. Lucky for you, we have the best man cave Christmas decor ready for you to pick a few things to make your man cave merry. A fluffy red and white blanket, a few iconoclastic ornaments, and a manly stocking can turn your space from its everyday look to a manly winter wonderland.

Is Your Bar Stocked?

After several hours with your extended family, you may want to sneak away for a soothing drink. So make sure your man cave wet bar or dry bar has plenty of your favorite spirit. And if you’re feeling more generous than Ebenezer Scrooge, pick up the drinks of choice for your brother-in-law, uncle, and 21-year-old nephew. You’ll be glad to have a stocked bar when all the liquor stores are closed on Christmas Day.

And if you don’t have a man cave bar yet, get yourself an early gift when you buy a man cave bar cart. You can get one as small or as large as your man cave can handle. Plus, all your drink options will be on wheels, so they can go wherever you go. And as the resident bartender, you can even call your bar cart “Santa’s Workshop.”

Do You Need More Dinner Seating?

An extra large family gathering usually means the family doesn’t all sit at the dining room table. Give up your seat to Great Aunt Gertrude and usher the menfolk and older boys to your man cave. Once you’re there, you can dine in peace while watching your favorite Christmas movie or the National Basketball Association’s slate of games. Just make sure the kids table doesn’t end up in your man cave. Otherwise, you’ll be scrubbing gravy and green bean casserole out of your rug in no time.

Are You Ready for Spills?

Speaking of spills, it may not be the little kids who knock over a plate or glass. When you stock up on wine, beer, and liquor, also make sure to replenish your home’s cleaning supplies. Paper towels, carpet cleaning solution, and multi-surface cleaning spray should all be in your kitchen or inside your man cave bar. Don’t let a party foul ruin the evening.
