Housewarming Party (Post 7)

If you wish to start your own crazy book - read post 1-4 to find out how

If you are planning to give someone a good old fashion “Pounding”. (And no this does not mean beating someone to a pulp). Someone you know has just moved into a new home and you want to give them a party, to show off their place. It’s called a “Pounding” because people use to bring a pound of something to help fill the kitchen pantry. Well, here are some traditional housewarming gift ideas to add to your ten cent crazy book.

Bread so you'll never go hungry and your pantry will always be full

Salt for flavor and spice, it represents life’s tears and mends all wounds and a pinch put at the threshold of each door and window will bring good luck

Wine so you'll never be thirsty and always have happiness and joy

Sugar so your life shall always have sweetness

Flour to bring fullness and enrichment

A Broom to sweep away the evil and to always keep your house clean

A Candle so you will always have light

Butter to bring you wealth

Coffee to wake you up each morning

A Coin to bring you good fortune

Honey to bring you a sweet life

A Knife to protect against intruders

A Penny to keep friends from ever being at the end of the knife

Rice for fertility

Peanut Butter to keep you out of sticky situations

Nails to keep you strong

Olive Oil to give you health, light and to keep your husband faithful

Toilet Paper so that all problems with the new home will easily roll away and be solved

A piece of wood so that your life and home will always have stability, harmony and peace

Bless this house as we come and go
Bless this house as the children grow
Bless our families when they gather in
Bless this house with love and friends.

May the roof above us never fall in.
And may the friends gathered below it never fall out
