Ours is this weekend, Saturday Night. Should be fun, we got a place right on the Atlantic Ocean, having a dj and some good food. We come up with quirky awards to give out and have a fun gift exchange game. Of course this is the night we get our bonus checks which makes it more fun! Dinner choices are Grouper (a fish), chicken and for the first time filet mignon. Yeah, I am getting the filet. yum.

That looks like fun! I don't think I'm having any parties this year. If I get a xmas bonus it'll suprise the hell outta me.

Every company I worked for in the past always gave a bonus, the place I work for now gives us a ham. At least we get something. Sounds like a really good time, and yeah go for the filet.
See Ya

Who wouldn't???:|:

It is definately starting to feel like Christmas around here, I've got alot of parties to go to between now and the big holiday. Last night was the last Mass. Arborists meeting of the year, also the 50th anniversary of the Certification program it was a great time.
I am most looking foreward to going to the Boston Pops on the 15th. Every year a group of my old college frat buddies get together with our wives for the symphony and dinner.

We are supposed to be getting snow this week!

My wife's christmas party for work is coming up soon.It's kinda funny to sit and watch a bunch of cops get drunk and make asses of themselves.I usually get hit up by at least three of them who are always wanting me to take them deer hunting with me.I politely tell them to find their own damm place to hunt.15 years ago I hated cops,now I'm married to one go figure,well,at least she is until the end of December.I hate christmas parties.I would much rather stay home and watch football.

If that lights up it would be pretty cool.

Looking close it looks like they have clear lights running thru. I may have to get started on my tree this weekend.

Nope, but I am a UMass grad, '89. I skated intramural hockey with some guys that were Stockies, they lived in the blue house on the corner, I forget the fraternity now.

Hmmm, the Atlantic Ocean's waves gently lapping up on the beach with a balmy breeze blowing...or snow?

Hmmm, I am going with the balmy breeze and the Atlantic Ocean. :lol:

Paul, that is beautiful. I have never really been in snow like that (really never been in snow to speak of, except in St. Augustine Fl in 76. 1/8th of an inch), I bet it would be fun!
