In my 2 years in the work force, I have learned many things, one of them being that office Christmas parties are funny things. Everyone's already feeling extra festive and at my former place of employment, an open bar was involved... this is a beautiful recipe for witnessing unsuspecting co-workers awkwardly dancing and/or getting the rest of the afternoon off. :-)
This is my first Christmas season at Warner Bros, and our department holiday party is this Wednesday. I am the 'elf' on the party committee in charge of music. The party is scheduled to last from 1:00-6:00 PM. I kid you not. That's a lot of "Jingle Bells". What's your favorite Christmas song and/or album?? (No really, please tell me...) I've got some major playlist making on my to do list.
You never REALLY know what to expect at an office Christmas party, but word on the street is that in addition to a food and 'adult beverages', there will be a tacky Christmas sweater contest, holiday movies, karaoke, and a possible visit from Santa at this WB shindig. Tempting as it may be, I think I'm going to refrain from busting out rousing rendition of Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas is You" this year. (My mother who once when I was in college solemnly told me, "Annie, I don't care how much you drink... you do NOT karaoke..." would approve of this decision I think). ;-) Basically, as I thoroughly enjoy celebrating this festive holiday with my new co-workers, I will keep this someecard in the back of my mind, and act accordingly...
In other news, I got new glasses! Check these babies out... :-) I'm a fan.
Currently listening: Eric Hutchinson
Why: You might THINK that given my task of supplying 5 hours of Christmas music, I'd be listening to Hanson "Snowed In" right now, but I'm going to save that for tomorrow. ;-) I discovered Eric Hutchinson when he opened for an (amazing) Andrew McMahon show a year or so ago and was instantly a fan. I've literally been meaning to get his album ever since that fateful opening act, but never got around to it. Christmas came a bit early this week, however, and the sweet girl who sits right behind me got a large package of cds from a friend at a record label. She said I could take whatever I wanted (oh how I love swag!), and I was so excited to see Eric Hutchinson's album up for grabs! Cha chiiiing! He's just as great as I remember. Listen to "Ok, It's Alright With Me" and "Rock & Roll".
Festively yours,
