    Mine is Saturday at a nice Country Club... My boyfriend is taking me, though it's not his cup of tea.. He's a really great guy.

    Our company Christmas party used to be at the Omni Parker House in Boston...very formal. http://www.omnihotels.com/FindAHotel/BostonParkerHouse.aspx Now it's at the Country Club...nice, but not quite the same ambiance.

    Tonight I have an association Holiday party... (CSI...Construction Specification Institute) It's being held at the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) in Boston. http://www.icaboston.org/visit/ This group is very creative in finding great venues for the party. One year it was at the MIT Museum in Cambridge... One year at the Boston Museum of Science...

    So, are you going to yours? Are you looking forward to it?

    I always go. Even when I was still a somewhat active JW, I went.

    Our company usually throws a pretty good company party. And there's usually a party after the party that ends up with all kinds of gossip talk the next work day.

    This year though they're toning it down...bad economy and all. I've noticed that a lot of the companies we do business with are having less holiday parties and gifts. I usually have to turn a few a year, there's so many of them. But this year, I'm accepting them all, they're so few and far between.

    We had one here yesterday evening, and another more formal affair ($75 per person) coming up. I never go to any of them for 2 reasons:

    1. They're always on week nights, and I don't go out on week nights.
    2. It's too much like work. Sure, I might have food and drink supplied, but people are still asking me all sorts of computer questions. (I work in IT) That's not my idea of a "party".

    probably not... I may or may not have a final exam in calculus next Thursday night (when they have the party)... final is optional....but if I can improve my class grade by taking it I will. More important than finger food and drinks....

    ("finger food" and drinks" is all the email said....and they didnt specify alcohol) at a Chevy's Fresh Mex restaraunt. And that place is a good 40 minutes away from me....

    My old boss has a party every year...I didnt go last year because I was still in JW-mind lock..too soon.... they go to a restaraunt, he pays for everything including alcohol.... there were a couple of folks that closed down the restaraunt. .. I worked for him 3 months this year but havent since March..so I dont think I will get an invite... I would probably go to that one (if it doesnt interfere with class)

    I go but not because many of the people I really prefer at work go. I sit with the few who do. There are 2 and I went to the one with hubbie and the other without.

    Sounds like fun C_B! We had a breakfast thing at my work (didn't do a huge thing cause of the way the economy has affected our company). It was ok.
