Surviving Christmas parties
I went to four Christmas parties this week and man am I ever tired!
At work we had our office party. Then I went to a Christmas party for the organization I belong to. Then I went to my future brother-in-law’s party Friday and last night I went to our friends’ wine Christmas party.
My advice to those of you that have holiday parties to attend, try to plan your gifts and wardrobe ahead of time. That way you’re not running around and stressing right before the party.
Also, you may want to grab a bite to eat before the party, especially if you are planning on drinking. Drinking water during the party is also a good idea. I should have had a lot more water last night. I don’t feel sick or anything today, just tired and a little dehydrated.
Partygoers should also be careful about drinking different kinds of alcohol. I came across a few people last night that were drinking wine and then beer. They were pretty sick. Watch your shots too. Those can have an effect on you in a hurry.
And always, have a designated driver or stay over at the party.
I slept until 1 p.m. today. That is the latest I’ve slept in a looong time.
