Contrasting Holiday Parties
I work for an agency that helps people who have little or no money. I enjoy my work and get a really warm feeling from doing it. My darling husband works at an company that entertains people and the owner is a billionaire. Needless to say, his company's holiday party is better than mine.
Compare and Contrast
Event Space
His: rented a historical downtown building and did up each floor with a different fantastic theme and related activities for each one
Mine: our clients' community room in the office
Expected Dress
His: fancy, fun, fabulous
Mine: work clothes, since the party is right after the work day
Food
His: delicious food for each theme on corresponding floors
Mine: catered by Marie Calendar's
Drinks
His: free flowing, bartenders on each floor
Mine: soda or water
Cost
His: $9 spent at parking garage
Mine: $25 per person = $50 to attend
I still like my job, but I'm so glad I have someone else's holiday party to attend.

ah yes...free flowing drinks. there's a rather amusing story about me at aaron's fancy schmancy holiday party a couple of years ago where there happened to be an open bar...but that's another story for another day.
