Most of us dread the process of relocating – for good reason.
First of all, there are many decisions to be made – from choosing when you want to move to deciding what to take with you – the list goes on. Next, there are tasks such as notifying the utility companies and post office of your upcoming move and arranging care for children and pets during this busy time. Finally, settling into a new community – from selecting schools and extracurricular activities for your children, to finding new doctors, dentists and other care providers – can be challenging.
We often forget, though, that relocation is also a cause for tremendous celebration. For hundreds of years now, in fact, people around the globe have been welcoming new friends and neighbors into their communities through “housewarming.”
To learn more about some of the traditional housewarming rituals and customs, including those that are still used today to welcome new people into our communities, we turned to Updater, which recently published a list of four of their favorite housewarming traditions from around the world, as summarized here:

And, if you’ve been invited to a housewarming party and are looking for the perfect gift to give to someone in your life who has recently moved, here are a few more links we uncovered that might provide some good inspiration:
