Avoid the season's cheer not the sense of anti-social humbug isn't his word doesn't avoid Xmas shoppers nor does he tuck his head inside hidden from street view a call to lock shutters He knows the commercial din spend thrift rituals deplete the mind for lack of sincerity knows the false commaradarie job parties avoided their politics null and void sees through the sham what work places really are I use you, you use me no Xmas party... no sock on the chimney avoid the toasted roast employee boast inflated egos on a run for the bottle avoid the season's cheer Xmas parties far and near...

Sometimes those office parties are boring, and sometimes, they are fun. I've been to both kinds over the years, but always hope that only those who WANT to be there go, rather than participate out of some sense of dutifulness. I've probably stayed home for more than I've attended. But a Pips holiday party? WHERE? WHEN? It would be some crazy fun. LOL |

Ahhhh! the party that soon will be here, many will attend. Rather for the food or drink or just for a good time. Some will attend in hopes to look good in the boss's eye or to make a fool of themselves. This is good one Martin. :-) Within this heart you'll find love |

I agree with Midnitesun -- both kinds. But, I certainly know the kind you're talking about....got two of them within the next week....eeeek. I prefer to savor the entire season in front of my fireplace with a glass of port! |

I agree with you, a PIP party would be something! I'd even give up my fireplace scene for that. The parties I'm going to are for my hushand's work and a friend of his from work and, of course, I don't know anyone and .... yadayadayada....yawn.! |

I myself am pretty much a loner, anti-social, "out-going when I have to be" type of person the holidays can be depressing for some people, because of memories and losses and such |

Have you mounted a big long antenna somewhere, and tuned it precisely to the pattern of my thoughts? We got us some circumstantial evidence right here.... ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |
