I’m headed to my girlfriend’s office Christmas party this weekend, and I’m not sure how I feel about it.

While our newspaper Christmas parties are always wonderful, I’ve been to a couple of stinker office shindigs in my past jobs. And a lot of times, the parties were boring even if I did know the people there (which will not be the case this weekend)

To top it all off, I can’t help but remind myself that the original Die Hard was set during an office Christmas party. Do I hope to be held hostage by Alan Rickman? No, but I might be hoping for that level of excitement come Saturday night.

How do you feel about office parties?
