My employer doesn't throw a very good holiday bash. In fact, last year, so many complained that it would have been better if they did nothing at all. This year, they got their wish.
I always look forward to my wife's party, in which spouses are also invited. It's a very small place, and they take us out to a very expensive restaurant. There's usually only about 10 of us, but we eat like there are 30. This year won't be as good because 20% of the attendees are preggers, and therefore, we won't be ordering the platters of oysters or pounding back the countless martinis.
