[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My neighborhood holiday party is at a nearby country club. And we have to pay to attend. So we don’t.[/quote] That sums up the problem. If no one reciprocates, people become afraid to spent the money or effort to host, and then everything turns into paying to socialize. It’s so depressing. [/quote] As someone who has hosted four neighborhood parties for 35+ people (parents and kids) on our block in as many years, with only three other houses ever reciprocating for the group, I can tell you I’m going to stop hosting this year. Too much effort that isn’t converting into friendship / helping each other out consistently. We’re skipping the pay-to-attend neighborhood event at the local country club now, too. [/quote]
