Celebrating New Year
Hi everyone :)
Almost New Year ....
Are you celebrating with your guests, do you invite them in your house (in case your house is nextdoor or attached or nearby..)
Did you offer them a bottle to celebrate?
It's up to the guests of course. For tonight (Southern Hemisphere) I expect it will be just us two, doggy and cat. But we could be wrong... And then a lot of phone calls, what's apps, txts, messages....
Wishing you all a prosperous and healthy 2020 with super guests and no errors :) :) :)
Many Greetings
Touch base again in the new year.

Hi Aaltje B.
This year I have no plans really, its going to be quiet here. My guests are likely going to be in the city centre for the outdoor fireworks and music event scheduled in Dublin Custom House Quay area.
Hi Barry
Well, quiet or not ,
May your year be filled with goodness and joy.
Greetings , all the way from the Southern Hemisphere .

Dear Ella,
Have you checked The Traveller Review Award 2020???
Where do I find that one ?
I have . Pretty good score. Happy girl :)
That’s great...Timefor celebration...
Although, this story does not relate directly to New Year's Eve guests, I wanted to share the following:
Last June, I treated my wife to her birthday weekend at a three-night stay in an Airbnb private home on the California seacoast. The husband and wife home owners rent their two spare bedrooms to paying guests, like us.
However, the Airbnb's wife host kept asking to accompany us to local restaurants, because her husband does not like to dine out.
My wife and I felt very awkward our Airbnb host wanted us to be her restaurant companions, when we wished to spend a romantic weekend dining and sightseeing by ourselves.
As a host, please be careful you do not force your unwanted hospitality on your paying guests.

Wish you all the best.
I hear you Don!
It's such a fine line isn't it.
BDC and Abb could add the following to choose from :
Wishes to socialise with host
Yes or no
And for hosts : Wishes to socialise with guests yes or no
And then the two groups have to match as well . Now it gets complex ...
We say in our Abb page as hosts : We like to catch up with you but our available time varies because of work duties ( on the farm ) This way we have a genuine excuse. But also use it if the situation needs it.
So Hopefully people read it and get the point .
Wisdom needed here. Its an art to be a host even more so to be a guest ;)
Happy holidays and happy hosting .
Greetings

We had two guests arrive last night on December 31. My wife and I were invited to our neighbors' New Year's Eve dinner party with 18 other people.
The house party hosts allowed us to bring our two Booking.com guests. We all had fun eating, drinking and getting to know each other last night.
Amazing neighbours and lucky guests !
That was a beatiful ending to the year . Lovely !
Hosting can be fun!!!
