I just recently had one of the most awkward social experiences of my life: the annual company Christmas party.
What should make a company Christmas party any different? This year’s party was held at the Embassy Suite. Nothing abnormal there. The awkwardness stems from three main points:
· I went alone [my wife was unable to join me for this outing]
· I am the new kid on the block. Out of the 1000+ people in attendance, I only know about 1% of those in attendance.
· I don’t drink.
Mix all three factors together and you have a recipe for a dysfunctional social event. I lasted about an hour before departing silently into the night.

That would be the worst. At least you went and made an appearance. That's what's important.
Well, it will be a memory you can cherish forever.
Merry Christmas!!! Tell R~ hi!
Here's the "joy" of that little scenario--you will also be the only one who will remember how not fabulous it was.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Looks like you're gonna hafta take up drinking. If I were you, I'd start with something more mild and work your way up to the hard liquor.
