Curiously enough I had the office Christmas party yesterday. It was nice enough; I stayed until I'd greeted everyone and then gently faded away :)

The office Christmas party
"Paging Dr. C, paging Dr. C, the office Christmas party needs you stat!"
Dr. C frowned, but set down the instruction manual for the surgery autobot and walked briskly along decaying corridors following the smell of cinnamon and cloves. The hospital's staff Christmas party was being held in the old maternity ward, which had the nicest view of mutated vegetation from the windows.
"Oh thank God," said a panicked voice as he came through the doors, "someone put neat ethanol in the punch and we've got 16 cases of acute alcohol poisoning!"

Greg - we left mine early to get the boys to bed. So it was fine.

That's some serious spiking of the punch bowl! I hope it was accidental, but suspect that it was not...
