Andrea's Christmas Party

My Christmas party was not as eccentric as Mike's.

It is usually at the same venue each year. It is a trendy little tapas bar just up the street from us.

I had just gotten back from the UK that day at around 3:00.

I'd greeted the dogs and took a nap until I had to get ready for the party.

The week before, I'd cut and changed my hair color so I got quite a reaction at the party and everyone wanted to know how the meetings had gone in the UK so I was very busy and I don't think I'd managed to get a bite to eat or a drink until I'd been there an hour.




We have quite a few people now and the place was just busting at the seams.

I made the rounds and said hey to my guys and their wives/girlfriends.

We had a champagne toast and then the place was opened up to the public, we hit our budget for drinks, so it was time to go.

The food was great and the desserts were too, but they were sort of floating around the room with them so I didn't manage to get much.

So the party moved down the street to our friends house and there Mike met up with me and walked me home. He'd been feeling kind of tired/sick and it's true, about 80% of the men I work with are giants, so he isn't a huge fan of being packed into that place.

Overall it was a fun Christmas party. It's always nice to hang out with your coworkers on a more social level.
