In general, i like company parties... free food, free booze if your lucky, and a chance to get to know some of the stiffer people in a boozy, more relaxed environment.

What does that have to do with gift giving in the workplace? I'm easy to get along with.

Sorry, but I consider gift giving for family and close friends. When gift giving started kicking in for co workers, babysitters, teachers and other professions..... I tired of that. It is all just a guilt trip now. If somebody gets you a gift now you feel obligated to get them a gift. Thats not the spirit of the season.

Just keep it simple. Family and close friends.

Mine is next weekend at Kansas Star casino. Love going to our christmas parties.

casino?! Nice. Do they give you any gambling money???

Ours was last night. We went to Deep Fork Resturant in OKC OK. After supper we went to a resturant called Local in Norman. Sat at their bar and hung out until about 11:30...

Not a bad night. Lots of fun and laughter.

Hearing word were getting $100/ea to spend. Small, 10 people, I'll gamble somebody elses money though, no problem :D

How about no ****ing gifts for anyone?

Last 2 years we went to Stix out at Legends, and Fogo de chao

all I want for Christmas is three ****ing fantasy titles.

Or... he could have just stayed at home. LMAO

GEt off my lawn.

How many TV's do you have in your house?

By the way it's acceptable to use an apostrophe when pluralizing abbreviations. It's the author's choice although it's typically done only when there would be no ambiguity.

I'm going to have to research that one.
