The 'work' Christmas Party

It was almost too easy. I had worried for a while about going to my works Christmas party. We were to do a secret Santa gift for someone, one thing on the first week of December, another thing on the second week of December, and one big thing to give to them tonight at the party. Of course, it was surrounded by food. In fact it was at a local pizza buffet place in town. I went in, just before I had to go to work, and drop off the 'big' gift, I said 'HI' to a few people, made small chit chat and then simply wished everyone a 'Merry Christmas' and a 'Good Night' and I was out of there. It couldn't have gone any better....and no one chided me for anything.
