You brought a laugh on.
In years past, I had the drunk draped on my arm. He was actually fairly good looking and his wife who actually ran the small restaurant we were using that year kept giving me thank you smiles. My husband was no help in removing him.
Another year, had a woman in a long prom dress that would literally pull it up to dance. She wasn't wearing underwear. To top that off, her monthly showed up with a vengeance.
Other years it was a bit tamer but it seemed the booze brought out the wanna be strippers. I wouldn't get on the dance floor. I could either dance in heels or barefoot. I always wore flats to the parties and I darn sure wasn't taking off my shoes.
Besides I was out of practice and didn't want to make the wannabes look bad. I have danced professionally more than once. First time on a stage, I was 16 and belly dancing. Been country dancing since I was 11.
This will make the 27th Christmas party. 3 different companies, same business. 100's of people have come and gone.
The first one was in an employee's house in the next town over and I had known my date for all of 5 days.
Only about 20 people tops at that party. Then when they got more stores and more employees, we started doing restaurants. Then came the buy outs. Way more people.
Now to cut back on expenses, the 5 towns do their own dinners. Well the two towns that are now connected do one dinner. That makes it nice and no one has to drive 2 hours.
"There might be other factors involved too." Since the ones that used to be in charge of the parties are long gone.
