My family parties start on the 20th. I have one each day that weekend, one Christmas eve, then the Sat. following Christmas.... then one Jan 10th.
Work cheaped out this year, since I work in the automotive arena. Usually they do a bowling event or something, which tends to be boring since I don't bowl (my large feet kept me from fitting into the shoes since I was a kid).
Our party was pretty awesome, had it at Lucky Strike lanes in Orange, CA. Bowling, pool, booze and mayhem followed by hanging out at a co-workers till 6 AM or so. We had it last Sunday so the bosses were kind enough to give us the next day off, gotta love the three day weekend.
Since technically, I am jobless right now, I don't have an xmas party for work, but I am having one here tomorrow for a bunch of close friends. Should be a good time.
ours was last night. Good whisky on free bars is great - although i did have to plead with them to stop asking if i wanted ice in it. No, no i bloody well do not. No-one does. NOW STOP IT
I'm just a contractor. I don't get included in that "fun" stuff :P
haha that sucks...I went out with the guys I'm contracting for last friday. Thought it was just going to be a lunch thing, but turned into a bouncing from bar-to-bar till 4:30 am on the company card thing.....good type of messy....
Ours at work is more of a xmas luncheon the last day of work before the holiday. No booze, no bringing your spouse, significant other, etc. Certainly no giving out of Wiis. Lame-o.
However the pool league I'm in is having ours at the end of this week and those are always fun and should make up for it. Much drinking shall be done.
We didn't get around to having our company one until st patricks day last year :-X let's see if we get around to it this time... much drinking and re-gifting takes place usually.
