[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighbor just dropped off a generous gift basket. We don’t have a tradition of gifts in our neighborhood and I didn’t anticipate this at all. What do I do? We like them but don’t know them well. We are not yet at the point where we are inviting people into our house for unmasked dinner / drinks / etc. Thank you note? Thank you with a bottle of wine? Thank you with a loaf of bread and some olive oil and balsamic? Thank you note with a homemade baked good? Gingerbread? Muffins? [/quote] You should feel embarrassed. The tradition is supposed to go the other way, you should have welcomed the new neighbor. This is what is wrong with people today.[/quote] They have lived here for 6 months. We did welcome them with cookies and I see them every day walking our kids to school. We are friendly, but not social, mainly because they travel a lot for work and spend weekends with local family an hour away. [/quote]
