I've never went to a christmas party for the company I'm working for now, but I've been to a few 'private' christmas parties with a couple of colleagues from work. The reason I never go to our company's christmas parties is because of certain people from work I rather not mingle with. Quite frankly they are a***oles I usually avoid at work. I prefer not to fake it with these people at parties. As it turned out I'm not the only one who feels like this, hence our private christmas parties.

Our private gathering is a nice meal at a restaurant, and they are always fun. While we tried to keep a lid on it word did get out, so now we got three more people joining us at our yearly x-mas dinner this weekend.

Anyway, do any of you go to company christmas parties?

No, sadly. It might surprise the people here but I'm very, very uncomfortable in social situations - but not when I have to lecture or present a course - so I avoid them.

Though another commitment will keep me from being there, last night I helped plan an office Christmas party, and I enjoyed that more than I would have the actual party.

I was only invited to one in various places I worked over the years: the crappy restraunt I worked at before going back to school. I declined to go because I hated my boss. He gave me grief for not attending.

I went to one a few years back that was quite fun, but mostly I am avoiding these kind of situations mostly because if I get a few drinks in me there is more than one boss in my place that I might start chest poking and telling them what I think of them.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
