A couple of days I walked home for work past a house that had been very recently moved into. The curtains were open just enough to see that they had in their living room a Christmas tree. A large, elaborately decorated Christmas tree.

I wanted to knock on their door and ask if they wanted to be friends, but I didn’t want to scare them.

In hindsight, anybody who puts up a Christmas tree in June would prolly be happy to make a friend that way.

  1. You could bring a casserole. Or a box of colourful scarves and a bellydancing CD. They’d probably like the “welcome to the neighborhood!”

  2. Gingerbread cookies?

  3. Even better.

  4. Want some too?
