Christmas Parties

[Carmenica Diaz]

The boss gropes you, the plump girl who is cheerful all year dissolves into tears after her third cherry brandy, the secret office romance is revealed through a huge public argument and the wine is putrid.

And who made the rule that secret santa gifts should be sexual and tacky?

Are you attending your work Christmas party this year?

 

[Belegon]

Already did...

mostly non-eventful. one little blonde friend that now works in another location showed a little more on the dance floor than I think she would have sober. But it was mostly harmless and fun.

...and the "little more" part above was definitely fun for us...as long as there are no repercussions for her I'm happy about it...

I am eternally banned from my units parties. (Thank god they still like me to show up at my wifes work parties.)

Banned? You are fortunate! How did you manage that? Share so others can learn from your wisdom.

The one they have were I work is too far away to go to. I have attended them in the past and was always bored out of my skull. Even the nite the IT manager hit on my wife. Got a laptop out of that one.

Went to one this wkend,
standing in line to use a bathroom away from the party,
good looking girl before me insisted on showing me how to lock the door (from inside) then she proceded to show me a lot more. We both came out happy.

Well, for some reason the bosses husband was a bit miffed when I started hitting on her. (For some reason he didn't think this was right even though he had asked my wife several times to go check out the master bedroom.)

The last time (3 years ago) I went to a corporate work party, our department (18 of us) spent 800 on food and 1700 on booze. Since I was able to see my Executive Director dance on our very long table, and then insist on leaving her lipstick print inbedded in all of our cheeks, it was almost as priceless as seeing one of my Profs get thrown a bra in a strip tease and then get up and whip it around lasso style. Damn she was a good time! We drank whatever our hearts desired, and ate whatever turned us on - no limits. (I forgot to mention the night ended on an intellectual discussion about camel toes, and three of us throwing up.) I DO miss those parties.

goin to one on Friday nite .. should be fun

all the women get "coiffed"

all the guys have showers and drag out their best suits and non-coffee-stained ties

food is usually Xcellent, music is usually marginal, booze is always tasty

I’m feeling very jealous.

 

[Guest]

my company party:

Priests and nuns in attendance. I shall say no more.

Perdita

(But the food and wine is prime and lots of smart people attend )

 

[CrimsonMaiden]

I could have sworn that said Christmas Panties when I first saw it.


We'll be going to my husband's work party next week. It'll be the second year for us. It has good food, dancing, and best of all... nice door prizes. (We're talking tvs, dvd players, etc... of course, there are some not so nice gifts thrown in so it's the luck of the draw.)

Some priests are quite open about sex. I’m always interested in discussing malecelibacy.

Christmas knickers – green with a red trim? Or with a smiling Father Christmas strategically positioned?

No an elephant!

No an elephant!

I don't think the elephant would be suitable for me. Looks good on you, though.

 

[sophia jane]

I'm making a huge platter of cookies for my ex's work party, but I'm not invited. So, no parties for me this year.

 

[Liar]

I'm self employed. I'll have a Guinness and rent a movie.

 

[R. Richard]

I'm self employed and I plan to have a few bottles of Heineken beer, a pizza and watch "The Monster That Devoured Cleveland."

 

[Guest]

Liar and RR: don't forget to have a snog with yourselves.

Merrily, Perdita

 

[R. Richard]

Perdita:
I have attended a few too many drunken brawls that were supposed to be fun Christmas parties to want to ever go through that again.

Besides, "the Monster That Devoured Cleveland" satisfies all human needs except air, water, food and money!

HEY! me too!
tell me when you pop open the guinness, i'll pop open a flying dog and we'll watch the same movie in tandem...WHAT FUN!

I had two to attend last weekend. One invitation read "casual dress". We showed up in jeans, and everyone else was dressed up fancy. WTF?

The second one was a wine tasting party. We thought we'd play it safe, so wore some "nice" business casual-like clothing. Everyone was in jeans.

I give up.

My company Christmas party isn't until the 22nd. Apparently too many people have gotten too tipsy at past parties, so now they warn us about not drinking too much and mis-representing the company. Today we had to read and sign the company's "alcohol at the Christmas party" waiver. Good grief.

Invitations always cause me angst, sometimes fancy dress parties are easier.

At this time of year I play quite a few office parties with a function band. I have one in a ski resort in Switzerland which promises to be fun.

I used to dislike the office party when I worked in investment banking, because it usually came just after a round of redundancies had been announced, and everyone was in a bad mood. Plus my wife would be there, so I couldn't snog Zoe Conway, or whatever her name was.

Wives do tend to inhibit one, I suppose.
