Reach Out To A Neighbor
The holiday season is a great time to reach out to people. It is kind of…expected.
And some of the people I like to reach out to are neighbors.
If we’re ever in trouble (knock on wood this never happens), neighbors are physically close to us and, if we have a good relationship with them, they might help us.
And it is nice being in a community where people know and help each other.
If you have a spare packet of hot chocolate and an extra mug, consider giving that as a gift to a (tolerant!) neighbor. Or shovel the snow off their walk. Or give them a homemade card. Or simply wish them a happy holiday season.
Make their holidays and yours a bit brighter.

Mafia Squirrel Dance Party Weekends
The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I spend a lot of time in our back yard during the weekdays, from Monday to Friday. We live in the city and most of our neighbors are at work or completing other tasks. It is peaceful and relaxing.
During the weekends, we tend to give our now-at-home neighbors that same peacefulness. We avoid our fenced in back yard and allow them the illusion they’re alone with nature.
The Mafia Squirrels and other non-human creatures in the neighborhood have noticed that routine.
So they tend to spend the weekends in OUR back yard, avoiding the humans rummaging around in other areas.
Yes, it is a Mafia Squirrel Dance Party in our back yard every weekend.
(grins)
Although the Mafia Squirrels are usually quite territorial during the rest of the week, they tolerate…sort of…the proximity of their rivals for those couple days.
It is like a Disney movie. Except they, unfortunately, don’t clean our home.
