We Need a Bed or Two at Christmas

Susie and I have taken a big step towards becoming adults—we invited our familes to our place for Christmas.
This is both a brilliant and a potentially disastrous move. Brilliant because it means we don’t have to travel, we get to see everyone on both sides, and we get to spend a little time off in our own city.
But there’s one big flaw in our plan—where are we going to put everyone? “Everyone” being a relative term, of course. My twin sisters haven’t responded and probably will be spending Christmas with my Dad, leaving my Mom and Virginia as “maybe"s. Susie’s brother and sister are fairly interested, though money’s an issue, and her parents haven’t committed yet. But potentially we’ll need place for six people to sleep.
Right now, I’m thinking: 2 people in our bed. 2 people in the guest room. Can the garage be made into a lovely home away from (or behind a) home?
Or perhaps one of the readers of this blog will be leaving their place in Vancouver around the Christmas holidays, and wouldn’t mind if Susie and I stayed there, or perhaps two or four of our family members. Anyone got space available?
Or is there a bed and breakfast in the area that you recommend?
