A sea of red.. It's Christmas time again

Break out that red dress! Wash the scarf! Dust off the white turtleneck to go underneath your fuzzy giant red sweater! Get the Christmas tie prepped.. even better if it lights up! Oh, and if it plays music? You've got my vote..

The world's tackiest clothing comes out in full force this time of year--New Years Eve is a close runner up to the obnoxiously red outfits that men and and women proudly wear as they strut into their local catering hall for this year's version of their "Holiday" party..

While the servers get blinded by the bling, the guests and party goers drink until their stomachs are full.. and then some.

The chests puff out a bit.. the red sweaters tightly being stretched around the guts filled with liquors from far and wide..

Last night was an extraordinarily weird party at my secondary place of employment.. There were four Christmas parties at the same time .. Only a few servers on board for all of them. Plated dinners, steak, prime rib, crab cakes, stuffed chicken, pork chop.. Over 140 people in the same room at the same time--at all different parties. Being that they were there for the same type of event, they chose to chip in for a DJ for music.. However, perhaps they were unaware, the DJ was awfully fond of karaoke.. The room was left a mess .. a complete mess. Drunk folks stumbled up to sing their favorite 80s Cheap Trick songs.. People who wanted to just dance were left in a confused state of mind.. "Dance to this guy singing ANGEL IS A CENTERFOLD?" ...nah. Back to the bar..

It was an interesting affair. .And YET another prime example of why Christmas parties remain near the top of my list in most vile catering events..
