One neat thing about where we live is the tradition of people dropping by to visit folks on holidays. My memory is of all-but-the-closest-people intentionally staying away on holidays but here people like to drop by.
Angie made a lot of cookies, pretzels, fudge, etc. and then we waited for folks to drop by. Not as many as we thought did come by since Christmas is a national holiday here and with it falling on a Friday, lots of people went out of town for the long holiday weekend.
Some friends even brought new friends, which we really enjoyed. 
These are some of our great friends and constant helpers. They tell us when to zig and when to zag and what fits and what doesn't. They are invaluable to us.
Our best friends. They live just a few doors up and told us while they were here that they had for a number of years sent text messages to people and wished them a Merry Christmas but they had never been invited to someone's house to celebrate it. We got to explain about how we celebrate, eat, and laugh, Santa even brought a few gifts for them, too. Probably the first Christmas gifts they had gotten! As people here say, "HoHoHo" a good time had by all!!
