The Living section of the Toronto Star, Wednesday, November 28, 2007, pages L1, L5, has a holiday party piece about different kinds of parties different kinds of hosts would have, a party survival guide by David Graham, Living Reporter: What to expect when cubicle mates throw a holiday house party, Watch your flirting, drinking and gossiping when stepping on a co-worker's home turf. This excerpt is about the kind of party an environmentalist would have.
TAKE ORGANIC WINE TO HIPPIE HOSTS
The Hippie Dippie/Environmental/Health/Yoga Nut
Who are they?: A member of the earnest alt crowd.
What kind of host are they?: Conscientious.
What will the party be like?: Quiet. Mostly non-alcoholic. Children will be present. World music if they're younger/James Taylor and Carole King if they're older.
Acceptable behaviour: Take your shoes off at the door and don't leave a footprint. Be open-mindedd about the food - lots of wasabi peas and seaweed snacks. Bring a soy candle or an organic wine. Leave early - mornings are imiportant to these people. They meditate at sunrise.
Dress code: Anything made from bamboo - and not made by children in a developing country.
