~Home Depot Christmas Party~

So a fun time was had by all at last night’s Christmas Party.  The night started out slow with only a few people trickling in.  It was themed the Ugly Christmas Sweater party so we came decked out in our Bedazzled Value Village with a Wanda fashion flair sweaters.  Unfortunately we were almost the only ones.  A-W-K-W-A-R-D-!  I hate being the odd one!  There were maybe 10 others that came in ugly sweaters…out of around 94!  Those buggers I tell you!  I did have some people that went out and got some good ones and had some fun:

Joe…he had some fun. He wore 2 sweaters, one on the top, one on the bottom.  Yup that is a set of balls etc. hanging there!

I was involved in the Decoration of Gingerbread houses, blindfolded.  We salaried managers were paired up with an associate who was to assist us with decorating.  I was paired with Ali, who works nights and has a flair for decorating apparently.

I ended up on the party game show “Don’t Forget the Lyrics Dude!”  I was voluntold, did not volunteer.  I’m so not a singer…but I didn’t do to bad.  It was a tie until there was some Hawaiian Christmas song aleki malikoi or something…I was screwed…that was not in the church choir songbook…

It was a fun night!  In my opinion we paid far too much for the food that we received…so I’m going to shoot for a different location for next year…we’ll see how that goes. 

I did get a gift from the staff…a gag gift.

Please make sure that you use your inside voice when you have associates in your office if you are thinking this.

I open the present and its a plaque that says “Put your Big Girl Panties on and Deal with it!”  Love it!

The staff had a great chuckle and it went over very well.

Anyhow, it was a good night and we had a fun night out.
