Darcy couldn&#8217;t make it because her house closing (which had gotten rescheduled multiple times already) got moved to Friday afternoon.  She wouldn&#8217;t have worn an ugly sweater even if she could have made, though.  I think it&#8217;s against her religion to wear anything tacky.  I rather enjoyed wearing my tacky sweater and showing my fun side.  I have a feeling that most people find me uptight and straight-laced at work.  I think I&#8217;m going to make it a tradition to wear an &#8220;ugly holiday sweater&#8221; to at least one Christmas party every year from now on.  <\/p>\n<p>Everyone who attended seemed to have a jolly good time.  However, I was a bit disappointed that no <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/The_Dundies\" >Dundies<\/a> were awarded that night.  Kidding aside, much gratitude goes out to our big boss Terry (not big in size, but big in leadership and importance and heart) for throwing us a holiday party and to Coleen for organizing it.  \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>NOTE: If you are looking for food photos, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brubakers.us\/foodies\/?p=808\" >check our other blog<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are some of the better photos from our work holiday party the other night.
