Today was my company's Christmas party. It has become a low keyed affair, given the last few years the company hasn't done very well. I've been there almost seven years. The first three Christmas parties were alcohol infused events; at one of them, I drank too much to where I needed a ride home. Times have changed. I drank Perrier and watermelon juice. Lots of it! I did not miss having a Margarita at all! There were only 15 people, and half drank, but not much. We had some games to play, did a white elephant gift exchange, ate, and had a nice time together. When I left, I felt good. In the past, I would have started drinking at noon, and kept up through the night. Here it is 6:30 p.m., ready to relax, read maybe, then hit the sack by 8:30.
It's still early days yet, and I know there will be times where I will struggle. For now, today, I did not.

Way to go, Lia!
ReplyDeleteEven at our teacher’s Christmas parties we used to all get drunk. Even the some of the principals!
I remember some parties people would try to slow me down.
Ugh.
Yay you, honey!
