NOPE.
Ditched so many team outings of this sort, and they were always not on my way home either.
Hey! If I pass my background/drug (oh....) test, I can start on the 11th! So no feting yet, but hopeful noises!
Stop means no. And no means no. So . . . stop.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

One year when I was at Lotus we had a fancy Xmas party at the Museum of Science, so we could wander through the exhibits and so on, that was really supernice for the non-drinkers/non-partyers.
When I worked at MIT Sloan, we had an Xmas party at MoS one year, and twice at the Boston MFA. It was nice.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!
We haven't had a real Christmas party at my office in years, but as the President who retired last year was big into those "getting to know you" type party games I sure haven't minded their absence.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
No holiday parties at work for me.
Meanwhile I forgot to put earrings on today, which meant I was practically naked. Didn't realize it until I was on my way to work. Don't know where my brain was...

I don't know how fast I can get the dilaudid one...at least methadone is off the table.

Well, rather than going to the holiday party at 5:30, I will be on a conference call.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Our holiday party is going to be here--the whole second floor! [link]

We're having a holiday party in a couple of weeks. Secret Santa. Angel Trees. Pretty much mandatory attendance and participation.
Due to a bad experience at a previous place, I'm opting out of Secret Santa.
I may call in sick that day.
