when it's more than a party

I am excited to report that this month I will attend more parties than in all of my December's combined (i'm lying a little bit). See my list...

*Mike & Katie's Chrismahanukwanzka party (12/02)
*A "Cookie Party" (12/03)
*The GenArt Film Party
*Josh & Robin's farewell bowling party
* NCBPMA Party
*My Company Holiday Party
*My Family Christmas party (in Simi Valley, blech)
*Paul & Craig's Christmas Eve Eve Gathering.

That last party is what prompted this post. I've received some nice invites to all of these fetes, however none as exciting as the one waiting in my gmail box from Paul. Read it and let me know you'd like to be my date.
