Tonight my roommie and I held a "holiday open house" for all the neighbors in our apartment building. Happily, though we invited outside friends for 'insurance', turns out we didn't need to (but it was great to have a couple more folks to add to some relaxing conversation).
So I guess the risk is...strangers from close proximity see a little bit of how we really live? That's not so bad. Reward: getting even a tiny bit of face time with folks with whom you, like it or not, have a significant and dependent relationship. You're counting on these people to help keep you and your worldly possessions safe, among other things.
Nice thing is, getting to know people this way gives space for another reward: new friendships. Roommie and I are already fantasizing about a building-wide craft night in the Spring! We'll see what happens. (though Lord knows, Maggie don't do no crafts to save her life!)
