The parties you go to during the holidays with your co-workers seem to take on the personality of the company (or the department head, depending on who's acting as host). At least I hope so! When I hosted one last weekend for my staff and their spouses at Biaggi's, it was low key, cordial, friendly, pleasant. Tonight, at D's department party at the department head's house, it will probably be like last year: crowded, hot, exuberant, feisty. We'll see in a few minutes.

Follow-up report: Why yes, indeed! Much like last year. Crowded, hot, exuberant, feisty. A couple of slight improvements over last year, however, not the least of which was sharing the pot at the end of Texas Hold-em. :) But, note to self: not a good idea to antagonize spouse's boss by helping the opposite team in Win, Lose, or Draw. In order to recover from this gaffe, much groveling ensued, but to a good result. My reputation as a sparkplug for injecting a little life into the party stayed intact. :)
