Work Christmas parties

[MistyMorning]

Since my staff and I are in the process of planning our annual Christmas party, I got to thinking maybe you folks could share some of your better Christmas party stories. 8)

MM,
No one knows better then I that there is a fine line between dry humor and sarcasm so here is a photo finish for you to call.
Re:

Have you ever been to other then an “annual Christmas party”? :roll:

OK maybe I can redeem myself with this:

Two students at North Todd Elementary received a big Christmas present a little early .

And it was an experience they'll never forget.


Mariah and Destiny Wilder weren't sure what they were about to open in front of the entire school early Dec. 13.

Their dad, Sergeant Matthew Wilder, was recently deployed to Iraq.

He sent a letter to the school saying how sorry he was that he had to miss their birthdays.

But to make up for it, the letter said he had sent them a present to open.

Mariah's mom says all Mariah wanted for Christmas was her daddy in a box.

So when Desire' Wilder found out her husband was coming home on Dec. 12, she decided to make Mariah's dream come true.

The school helped arrange the surprise.

Sergeant Wilder will be home for the holidays before heading to aviation school.

Group I work for is scattered across US so we never had to worry about a party. In fact most of us have never met each other, just talk back and forth on computer or phone. Never met even met my boss, but we became good friends over last few years.
I never been much into parties so this worked out great and never heard anyone in my group complain about it either. trying to remember, but I do not think I ever been to a work related Christmas party, even when I was working with co workers in the same office/site, most we ever did is go out to lunch. Guess I live to much of exciting life :lol:

Mr.HD's party was Friday.Always a great time good food wonderful people most of whom are really close friends of ours.

Well one of the "new guys" ( riff Raf that comes from an other province in hopes of easy money :roll: )got stinking drunk ended up horking his guts out in the ladies rest room so I ended up having to use the mens room.It was empty and a good friend kept watch at the door.I still have nightmares.YUK..

Security helped the loser exit the building.This same Yahoo got tasered and pepper sprayed by police a couple weeks ago at a popular pub and is now facing up to 2 years in jail.I say good riddance and grow up. Nothing like acting like an ass in front of your bosses.

30 years ago I worked for the city...not of Stephenville! The fire chief wound up driving me home...like he was in any shape to do so. I rode my 10 speed bicycle to pick up my car at 5:00 the next morning.

The city manager caught me retrieving my car as he was going out deer hunting with the rest of the department heads...and they had to have been as hungover as I was!

Took me a long time to live that one down. (Apparently I was really feeling my Post Toasties that night. GAWD, I wish I could remember!) The blasted police kept stopping me on my way to and from work to let me know that they were so glad I didn't drive myself home...jerks!

A bunch of guys that I work/worked with had a dinner Friday night at a local restaurant. No wives and/or girlfriends allowed. One guy copped out at the last minute, had some lame excuse but it boiled down to his wife not letting him come. After we ate, "someone" and a couple friends stole a huge real estate sign and put it in his front yard. Hope he had a wonderful "Open House". And yes, alcohol was involved.

Our company christmas party never happened this year. I guess thats what happens when you get merged with a bigger market, They take everything that was fun for the employees and grind em up to dust.

I think if more depends on the group that's getting together. We went to Clayton's Christmer bash for Waco I and II on Friday night. Bonham didn't have a party, so we got ourselves invited to their's. It was BYOB, but they had dinner catered. There was a DJ but no band. Lots of dancing. I got hugs from everyone I wanted to get hugs from there.

I think that company parties should be about having a good time, but that you shouldn't make a fool of yourself with drink or with your date. I was once at an MHMR bash where a co worker started stripping while standing on a table. I left before the show was over. I didn't want to be associated with it.

We had a great time, and we usually do. Just make sure that there is room to dance. I had rather of a headache on Saturday morning, but plenty of good memories.

You're right Lammie. Best ever was an old company I worked for when they leased the Will Rogers center. Two live bands and the biggest dance floor ever. Maybe an acre? The food was gone when the crashing started. There were about 3000 or so with guests and clients. Then we took in 5 to 700 "guests" who crashed.

The Hilton was bad. Tables took the whole room. Dance floor was about the size of a flat bed. Not much dancing at all.

Well Crowder against the advisement of my counsel, I decided to open that PM from you. WOW, no wonder you didn't want to share your experiences from your 2003 Christmas party! :shock: What with the ongoing litigation and all, I suppose it's best if you keep it quiet for now. My only question is why did you think the guy in the red suit with the white beard was really Santa, not some poor sap paid $10.00 an hour to masquerade as one?

Well, you could at least have given your friends a "heads up". I missed that show, and I'm not happy about it. :lol:
Was she "height weight proportionate" or was she a member of "Moulin Huge"? Or was she a he?

Misty, While the 2 of us are in heavy Litigation, Please refrain from any unsavory remarks. I will yake this moment to ask all fellow board members to PM you for a copy of The Minnesota Men's Massage Club, here after known as the " MMMC" annual Christmas bash in which you have been shown, controversially comprimised with them Snow Wimmens.

P.S. that trapeze crash landing into the vat of Egg Nog was supreme!

She was just starting to get a little pudgy. A healthy girl with a healthy set of... attachements. Believe me, it was mentioned several times over the next year. That was the last year she worked for us, as well. I think she got into a little trouble with another woman's husband.

Ugly business.

I like to have a good time like everyone else, but, you know...

BTW, eggnog is not a good thing to get plastered on. OOHH, the headache!!!!! :drink:
