This year, I'll be hosting my 14th Annual Christmas Party, on Dec. 11th.
But you guys might not want to attend. The food is great. (I always make my famous baked ham.) But there's usually no liquor, as I and practically everyone I know don't drink. Either AA, or just not drinkers.
It's always so intriguing to hear about all the drunken, hungover antics of posters on this Board. It has often made me wonder if a liking for soundtracks is linked to alcohol. Some of the major Golden Age composers could have been classified as alcoholics, though it doesn't seem to have impaired their output, as a rule.
I may have brought this topic up before on these threads, but it might be that it strikes too close to home with too many posters.
Anyway, we always have a great time.
Hope you all enjoy your parties....

My parents' company holds an annual Christmas party. Admittedly, their employee roster isn't huge, but once friends and relatives are entered into the equation the day ends up being a lot of fun. Usually the events are trouble-free, but a couple of years ago the main party was held at a golf club, and unfortunately one of the staff got a bit too enamoured of the freebies at the table during the party, and during the round of golf which came later, he put the golf cart into a tree. Needless to say, the company wasn't invited back the next year.

Cool! Job or buddies?
Job. In a private home. Ended a bit early, at 01:45, I could surely have continued for a few more hours. But at least that's a sign that it was a fun night! Had Tapas, incredibly good food!

In 2007, I wrote....
He, he...yeah. For many years, we (as university teachers and tutors) had to sign a statement that forbade us to engage in "indecent" and/or sexual relationships with our students. Now, thankfully, this has been abandoned, so I can be the "sleazy old (young?) teacher hitting on the students"!! 
Before you cry "moral outrage!", though, I should point out that I like to keep a professional distance to the students that are closest to me and that I'm tutoring. I'll most likely hit on the master students that are somewhat further removed professionally, but closer as friends (as they are, after all, just a couple of years younger than me). I'm not sure that makes it better, but there you are.
God, I was really on top of my game back then with annoyingly high confidence. It's weird to look back on now.
But anyway, it's that time of the year again.
I've already had a couple of 'Christmas tables' and I will continue to have a couple more.
One tonight with my colleagues.
What about you?
