I agree. Our weekend extravaganzas just before Christmas are killing me, and I don't even have much family.
I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Definitely better than a kick in the face. Although last year's day event in a BAR was more of a gift, IMO.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020
I HAVE NO GUEST, OKAY? I AM A BIG LOSER WITH NO GUEST. I HAVE TO SIT THERE, BY MYSELF, AS AN ODD NUMBER, SCREWING UP YOUR SEATING ARRANGEMENTS.
Bring a homeless guy. Charitable and funny.

convinced that the only reason I was sitting next to my grandmother is because we were the only two grown-ups there without spouses/partners.
I was once at a wedding reception seated at a table that was ALL single people without dates. Which would have been handy if everyone else waan't related, and I wasn't really interested in hooking up at my friend's brother's wedding, with my friends cousins.

Ours is during the day. And charging it to an job code is frowned on. And there is booze. About 3/4 of the group can use partial vacation days. The rest can't. I make myself seen and then leave.
Cute little bird outside the window. Very wee and round like a golfball.
Oh& I saw a racoon the other might on the way home. Which isn't remarkable except it climbed out of the gutter on a very busy street, looked around and toddled back in. It was strange.

huh, I have never been bothered by plus ones on invites of any kind. I also can't imagine bringing a BF to a wedding or an office event if they did not already know the people.

Wow. So my students are wonderful and smart and nice and... say terribly offensive things without any idea they're doing it. While claiming to be "the least racist person, like, on earth."
I know this isn't a surprise. They're high school students. But... wow.

I took Aims to company holiday functions before we were married. She was awesome; everyone loved her. Loved her more than me, actually.
The whole rest of the year was "How's your wife? She's cool."

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I always bring Ethan to the holiday party because there is free food there.
