We hosted a holiday

We hosted a holiday party for some of Tod’s coworkers.

17 guests represented 7 nationalities: Australian, Irish, British, Indian, Chinese, Japanese and American. Quite international.

Yuki, a Japanese woman who works on the NT team, confided in me. “When I am married and have a house, I want to have a home party like this.”

Interesting. She referred to the party as a “home party.” Japanese parties normally take place in restaurants or hotels because houses are often rather small and not designed for parties. We were hosting an anomaly that merits a special name.
