| Being with neighbors | Seeing some houses | Being off the roads |
| The 4 houses hosting this year’s event — with an hour at each house and a theme of “Pours to Passports” — will feature a cocktail and a snack from their respective countries: Italy, France, Ireland, & Mexico. In addition to “Mexican Mixers,” we’ll have a midnight champagne toast at the last stop. | I’ve lived in this neighborhood for 10 years now, and I’ve never been in 3 of the 4 houses hosting this year. I’m looking forward to checking them out, which is a great aspect of this party, along with meeting several new neighbors that’ve moved in since last year’s party. | Beyond the neighborhood community being shared, which is no small thing in itself, another great thing about this kind of party — walking around the neighborhood — is keeping all of us off the roads. And bonus for Bob and me, the final stop is at the house of our next-door neighbor! |
