I recently moved. Hopefully the last one of my life. So I have everything I can imagine and then some. My son in law's aunt asked me when are you having a housewarming party. I said I hadn't thought about it. 

Was that an odd thing to ask, or is it just me.

@May5.  Do people still have housewarming?  I haven't heard about anyone having one for years.  Maybe they're done by young people and I just don't have contact with any.  I never even thought about it when I moved into my forever home.

I moved into a new house at the very end of 2021.  It never occurred to me to have a housewarming party.

I downsized. Please don't give me more stuff.

Perhaps her social calendar is empty?

Most likely it depends on your group of friends and relatives.

If it's something that they'd like to do and you're open to it sounds like fun.

Nobody will give me one at the nursing home LOL

That's my forever home I'll try my best to forestall it, but, there will come a time when we all have to go unless we die in our own home.

People do have house warmings but people who are downsizing usually don't.  We don't want more stuff, we want to eliminate some of what we already have.  It was not an odd thing to ask.  I would have answered truthfully.

You can have a house warming party without presents. I did. Everyone knew I had everything because I'm the one they came to when they needed anything for their kitchens and anything else. We had a great time and it lasted 2 days.

Th only housewarming parties I have heard about in years are for newlyweds. The only thing I usually send is flowers.
