Not quite. I am hosting a Christmas party in my HOUSE. I have votive
candles lined all along my front driveway and a big wreath on my front
door (which is open, BTW since I'm in Hawaii and it's warm), and a big
sign that says "Welcome!". I am standing at the front door with a tray
of cookies and egg nog, welcoming everyone and shaking everybody's
hand that walks in.
Mr. Walnut Creek then proceeds to ignore the front entrance, walks
along the side of the house, climbs over my trash cans and fence, then
crawls under my hedges. Continuing around the side of my house, Mr.
Creek tries to get to my party by forcing open the sliding glass door
to my bedroom.
Okay--that's a tad closer.
