Christmas parties that is. It seems that everyone is having them. Companies, clubs, and even the gym I go to has one for it's customers (that's definately one to miss, though. Self-obsessed, pumped up idiots getting drunk together, no thanks).
In general, I'm all for parties, and these pre-Christmas things are mostly quite ok. But when you have at least one event every week it starts to get a bit dull. Of course, these things are much more bearable when they are organised by people who are together from their own free will, like clubs and gatherings of friends. But when it's these corporate Christmas parties, that Nygard already mentioned in his last post, that's when you can kiss the fun goodbye.
It's not an awful lot of fun to try to smile to your superiors and their stories of golfing in this or that exotic country. Nor is it a great delight to have a conversation with the office drunk, who can't quite decide whether he loves or hates you, and instead just shouts incoherently in your ear. To top it all up you have to try to stay relatively sober and normal or you know there will be no end of the gossip in the office the next week. So, I think it's quite enough to have Christmas once a year.
Looking at the bright side, though, once these compulsory celebrations are over, it's only a little while until Chistmas holidays and the much needed freedon from work and everything that comes with it.
Hang in there, it won't be long!
