Holiday Cheer

This time of year always brings holiday parties, which are my favorite! There is nothing like wearing ugly Christmas sweaters, sharing beverages, weird finger foods, and best of all hilarious gift exchanges. It brings out the best in people. The first holiday party on my agenda wasn't this sort of cheerful party though. It was the other kind of holiday party, the awkward gloomy kind of party. The party where your weird in-laws ask you all sorts of bizarre annoying questions about every minute detail of your life. After I survived all the strange family parties I moved on to my next holiday event, a Christmas party at my best friend's house. The theme for the night was a potluck with a "funny" gift exchange. The night turned out to be a success. Everyone had good laughs at the odd gifts and full stomachs from the delicious food. My holiday party experiences were overall good!
