A
People like to celebrate when they move into a new home. Maybe it’s the first flat someone has owned, a couple’s first home since getting married or maybe a growing family has moved to a bigger house. For whatever reason, the home is new. It represents a change and an exciting new beginning, with walls to paint, rooms to decorate and neighbors to meet. And what better way to meet people than to throw a party?
Parties to celebrate moving into a new home are called "house一warming" or“flat一warming" parties. If you think about it, they, re appropriate names because an empty house with no people or furniture in it is a cold shell of a place.

This makes it easier to meet new people and creates a fun and cheerful atmosphere.
"There’s an old saying that“home is where the heart is". When people throw a house一warming party, they’re opening their hearts as well as their homes to the people around them. So if you’re ever invited by new neighbors to a house一warming, go！Then invite them to your home another time. Your home might already be warm, but new friends are the surest way to warm your heart.
