The Best Neighborhood

We moved into the best neighborhood I think we've ever lived in. So many people have been so kind to us from the moment we moved in. As December approached, I wasn't sure what this neighborhood does when it comes to Christmas "neighbor gifts". Do they do them, or do they do a combined service project/donation, or do they do nothing at all? Well, right on December 1st I had a hunch that they are gift givers when we received a little package of Christmas themed covid masks from someone in the ward and neighborhood whom I've never met before. The gifts kept coming to our doorstep over the next few weeks. They came from mostly people on our street, but there were a couple more from families we don't know. So very kind and thoughtful. We decided to give little containers of homemade honey butter to all ten of the families on our street plus two more households. I took pics of almost all of the little gifts given because I wanted to remember how wonderful people in our neighborhood are! Mistletoe, spatula, pine dishsoap, homemade cotton candy, orange spice potpourri, 2 sparkling ciders, honey, homemade mint soap, pringles, dish towel, snowman hand soap, pancake mix, and family picture Christmas cards.
