🎄 Christmas in Reading with RHouse

At RHouse, we know that shared living is about more than just where you sleep – it’s about creating a community and making the most of the place you call home. And at Christmas, that sense of connection matters more than ever.

If you’re spending the festive season in one of our Reading HMOs, there are plenty of ways to make it memorable – from fun house traditions to enjoying everything the town has to offer. Here’s your guide to a festive season in Reading, RHouse style.

✨ Deck the House ✨

You don’t need to go over the top to bring Christmas vibes into your home. A few small touches can transform your space:

• Mini Tree in the Lounge – instant festive cheer.

• Fairy Lights Everywhere – quick, easy, and always a vibe.

• Scented Candles or Diffusers – think cinnamon, pine, or gingerbread.

• 
  

Split the cost with housemates and you’ll have a festive space without breaking the bank.

🍽️ Celebrate Together 🍽️

Shared living is all about building connections – so why not plan a house Christmas get-together?

• DIY Christmas Dinner – everyone makes (or buys) one dish, and together you’ve got a full feast.

• Secret Santa – set a budget and see who’s the most creative gift-giver.

• Festive Movie Night – classics, blankets, snacks, and maybe even mulled wine.

🎡 What’s On in Reading 🎡

This time of year, Reading has plenty going on – perfect for evenings out with housemates:

• Winter Wonderland at Hills Meadow – ice skating, fairground rides, and festive food stalls.

• Forbury Gardens Lights – a chilled winter stroll with plenty of photo opportunities.

• The Oracle – ideal for last-minute shopping or grabbing festive food with friends.

• Cosy Pubs – great for a Christmas drink.

🌿 Don’t Forget You-Time 🌿

The holidays can get busy – wrapping up work, social plans, and travel. But it’s important to make space for yourself too:

• River Thames Walks – fresh air and a break from the buzz.

• Wellness Breaks – yoga, gym, or even a day at Nirvana Spa.

• Planning Ahead – use the downtime to reflect and reset for the year ahead.

Christmas in a shared home is about creating new traditions, connecting with the people around you, and enjoying everything Reading has to offer. However you celebrate, we hope your festive season is fun, relaxing, and full of community spirit.
