Holiday

A holiday often touches hospitality and the warmth of welcoming strangers into your celebration. The dream may ask who interesting might soon partake of your generosity, where a break in the ordinary is opening you to new company, and whether you're confident in your own attractions or fearful of being eclipsed by a rival.

Miller 1901
