Are You That Somebody?

I remember when I got my first job, and around this time of the year, I discovered the semi hidden treasures that are company holiday parties. At year end, companies show their employees how much they appreciate what they have accomplished during the year, and vendors that people work with over the year want to thank them for doing business with them. I remember the seemingly endless invites and all the open bars and passed h’orderves I could stand. Now while I was a novice at the holiday party shuffle, I did try my best to get in the game and play it as best as I could. I would break out my calendar and plot out which nights during the month of December I would actually HAVE to cook a meal. I am happy to say that all these years later, my December hasn’t really changed all that much. Looking back on the years past, I have some really great memories that I have with my coworkers that took place at these parties, but I also have some “did that really happen” moments that if I can help you avoid I would love to.
