Moving into a new home is exciting and fun. It may not be new, but it is definitely new to you, and the excitement builds as the moving date gets closer.
Some of the fun is planning the décor, yes even dreaming of colour swatches and decorator themes. Of course there are some down sides, like all that packing (my God, where did all this stuff come from) and leaving your old neighborhood with teary goodbyes.
Well we can’t do much about all those boxes, but the teary goodbyes are not at all necessary because ‘you are going to have a housewarming party’! It is tradition,you really should do it! It is good etiquette. It tells the friends you left behind, that they are not forgotten and are welcome at your new home and it introduces you and your family to your new neighbors.

Sometimes, it was held at some of the houses in your neighborhood. When you were old enough, that was when you learned that the people in your neighborhood took turns hosting the outdoor parties. That was a way of getting to know each other and just relaxing in the outdoors before another hectic week started.
Now that you are already old and that you already have your own home, you miss those kinds of parties. The homes in your neighborhood do not care much though about the people around them and so they pretty much keep to themselves. You and your friends have some get togethers at times but they are just not like what you had back in the old days when people would gather just when the sun was about to set and a barbecue grill was smoking hot with all the things being cooked there.
