I'll admit....the only Christmas Parties I have ever known are the great ones from KPMG....the open bar, the amazing bands, always at some awesome venue like River Oaks Country Club or at the museum....and EVERYONE went....and we always had a wonderful time.
So when I got a note saying "two free drink tickets" at a local hotel...I was a bit skeptical. And then when everyone thats been around for a while said they didn't want to go -- I thought, great, what am I getting myself into! Some of my staff were going and really wanted me to go with, so I dug out my dresses and went with all of them. And it was MUCH better than I expected. And thank goodness I was not drinking or else it would have been a VERY expensive night!!! Above is SS and I by the Christmas tree....none of us opted for the "Prom Pictures" they were taking. No kidding. They were even posing people just like prom. Ha!
We all met up and had a drink, then we had dinner.....well, let me re-phrase that -- they all had dinner, I just hung out....Above is me, BP and SS again. They both work in the financial reporting group and are just so much fun. I wish you could see BP's tie...it totally said Merry Christmas all over it. So festive!
Here are the A's....funny, she was an intern with me at KPMG and I remember her saying she was getting married...but I had no idea who the guy was. Then I came to work here and he started talking about his wife....and I finally put two and two together! What a small world!
And then after dinner, the dancing started....you should know that anytime the DJ brings props, well it is going to be a riot. We started digging through the prop basket and look what I found:
Here is CK - he was one of my staff at KPMG that has also migrated to Oxy.....the only rule was if I took a picture of him and posted it anywhere, it had to be followed with a picture of me....so here goes...of course, I was laughing so hard, looking around hoping my bosses boss had already left!
Then the DJ said that YMCA was coming up...and started handing out hats...of course, the first one I pointed too and said they really need a hat was our boy BB...I totally want to blow up this picture and put it outside his door...classic.
And then we realized that they had indian headresses too....so we decided that IA needed it too...
And of course, if I made them wear it, I had to wear something too -- so I got off the hook easy and was gifted a green feather boa. I got some other great "action" shots of everyone on the dancefloor doing YMCA. It was so freaking funny.
And after that, there was lots of other dancing, including a conga line (no, I am not kidding. Not one bit!) and then some latin dancing. The funny thing was, when LK went and requested Baby Got Back, the dancefloor literally cleared. WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT?!?!? I mean, you know I didn't leave the dancefloor. I did crack up when SS said, K, turn your back this way so our bosses can't see you shake it. so funny!
Then more props came out....
Here are the K's -- first there were glasses, then there were hats...so freaking funny. All in all it was such a fun night and I have lots of video to prove it!! ha! I have already told everyone that next year, they will be coming with...it was just too much fun to pass up!!!
