One of the first companies I worked for was a construction company. Company wasn't too big so they had the Christmas party at the Owner's house. Lots of goings on. That was the only one they had there. From then on was at the country club. Worked for another small construction company with three partners. They rotated having the Christmas party at their houses. They didn't get real wild, but the liquor flowed. One of the last ones I went to my ex-wife wasn't paying attention to what and how much she was drinking. We were sitting across from one of the partner's mother and father and my ex almost passed out face down in her plate. Like a half inch from kissing the food. The next year she got pissed when one of the others brought it up. Didn't have to worry the next year as we were divorced.
