Months and months of planning.
Weeks of barely seeing my family.
250 handmade party favors.
Much stress, pain, and suffering.
240 guests brought in from all over the US + 1 from Japan.
An open bar from 5:30PM to 1:30AM (with no major incidents, thank heavens).
Organization of lodging for all the attendees (see open bar above – we do not want anyone driving after that).
The joy of watching everyone come together and enjoy socializing with nobody except me and the other organizers worrying or fretting about what will/is/can go wrong.
Ahhh, success. So glad it’s done for another year.
Sorry, no pictures. We tend to get a little, ummmm, crazy and I’m not sure that the behemoth corporate entity that owns us really needs to see how we celebrate the season.
