I mean, holy crap what a gift for a christmas party. I'd maybe go bigger, like say the Azores or Bali or Moscow or something.

If it's just domestic US, go to New York. (Christmas in New York! )

'Grats KCFDcat! Winning free vacations is the greatest thing in the world.

Ours is pretty wild.  Start boozing in the office around 8:30 then the open bar starts at 11.  Lasts till 4 or so and then they throw down a huge tab at a local bar till it's runs out.  By the time me and my work bros are looking for an after party spot around dinner time we are already smashed.

Anybody else ever have the opportunity to go to one of Heritage's Christmas parties? (T-Star, Hibatchi Hut, Harry's combined. At the Warham with live music, free alcohol, and herb around every corner. Best ever. People used to beg to be an 'and one' to that thing.


Gonna win 'em all!

Any Aggieville bar's Christmas party is amazing. When a few of them are combined, oh boy.

Not sure why that's an eyebrow raising choice, but I named other places, too. Paris seems like a place where you could get in and out pretty quickly - I'm guessing they can't just take a week off work on short notice and a place like the Azores or Bali would take at least a full day to travel each way.

how does it work? you have to book it yourself? they just reimburse you? they have some travel service with shitloads of restrictions? this is amazing.

i like free alcohol.  but i'm always half-pissed that they didn't take the money they spent on the party and split it out amongst the employees and also a little worried i'll get ridiculously drunk and fired.  so i don't enjoy them very much.

[star seed 7]

had a company picnic where this guy got plastered off free bud heavy, passed out on a picnic table and pissed himself.  his son, who also worked there and was plastered as well, grabbed as many cans from the cooler as he could carry, woke his dad up and told him it was time to leave, got into his truck drove them an hour home. 

nobody was fired, but it was made known that they weren't invited to the next picnic.

New Zealand, its summer down there, and its rough ridin' New Zealand

[HerrSonntag]

Didn't see the US restriction, San Diego to watch some cats/chiefs is probably the way to go.

[steve dave]

oh, didn't see the us restriction either. assume this loser thing is lower 48? if not Niihau.

she works for a marketing company that does all the business for a prominent airline and a few prominent hotel chains. so my fiancee just needs to tell her clients when/where we want to go and they'll book it all for us. max two nights, must be domestic. and we have to give a "presentation" about our trip to the ceo when we get back. small price to pay.

looks like I'll have her convinced to head to San Diego for the holiday bowl. (even though she's a nubb  )

I have a feeling that the people who dont want to go/ cant have fun at office holiday parties are the same people who dont want to go/ cant have fun at HS reunions.

[sys]

i mean, by my calculations, they could give everyone about $700 or so instead of the party.  it's infuriating.

They don't have to pay income taxes on the holiday party, so ~$500. but yeah.

Popped in for my too free drinks, lost all my fake casino night money on fake roulette

they don't have to pay taxes on salaries either, right?

Not true, holiday parties are great.
