Christmas Party #1 Down

We had such a good time this year at the Captain’s Company Christmas Party. It was at City Streets in Downtown Fort Worth which for me could have gone either way. I was pleasantly surprised at just how nice our room was decorated and how great the food was. Everyone played pool or darts and we ladies generally sat around chatting. The rest of City Streets is like a club type place with different rooms for different activities and I was curious if it would feel strange being in a middle room by ourselves, that or I was afraid that everyone disperse throughout the rest of the club and it would be odd. But concerns were not validated at all. The party started early enough that by the time the other parts of the club were hoppin’ our party was winding down and we all headed for the dancin’ area as a natural progression of the night.

The person that planned it all is so nice and is such a hard worker; she went into great detail on the giveaway prizes and overall ensured that the party was a success. The prize I liked best was one that others didn’t seem to appreciate; it worked out in our favor because in the end I got it (a big fat chef cookie jar).

I did something different this time than I normally do; I hopped around from person to person. Generally I’m not one to mingle excessively because I don’t want to hurt people’s feelings by walking away once I've started chatting with someone but now I realize that in those situations conversations are suppose to be short and sweet so really there isn’t anything wrong with not hangin’ out with the same people/person all night long.

Good times!
