It was a bit early, but today was our office Christmas lunch. A good time was had by all, girls on the dance floor and guys in the bar. In between all that we had a good chat over lunch and I had a little giggle with one of my friends over a shared unfortunate circumstance.
After the do it is normal to go on to a local pub and while the hours away. Due to complicated transport arrangements and family visits it wasn't viable for me to go with them. I did feel really guilty though when I realised people were expecting me to go and that I would be missed...
Later when I visited my parents they unexpectedly gave me a special gift for helping them both out when my Dad was in hospital.

The day has left me with a warm and Christmassy feeling, so time for some Christmassy music:

I hope your dad is ok. I keep getting pressure to attend work related xmas events - I have steadfastly resisted...
It's almost 20 years since I was at a really boozy Christmas do. Used to think they were wonderful. Not so sure now.
A well-deserved present. Good on you.
