If your dog is apt to running away, be sure to put a sign on the front door reminding visitors to shut the gate and/or close the door securely.

Consider purchasing some really nice chew bones for your dog,  put your dogs crate in a quiet room so if he or she is getting to overwhelmed with visitors and commotion you can let him retire and enjoy  a nice juicy bone in peace.

Keep a close eye on food, especially Christmas Chocolates !
