Parties, parties, parties?

I'm getting depressed! Every host is selling items across the spectrum for all the parties we're going to. I'm going to one party which dh and I are hosting; no one dresses up. My family gets together for special meals during the holidays, but we don't get dressed up. Hopefully, everyone will wear clean t shirts! On Christmas morning my daughter does brunch for everyone and most of us wear our pj's.

Is everyone else booked solid between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day with parties?

Sigh.....

@this is my nic. Don't feel badly; you're going to more parties than I am.

If we lived closer you could come to my party! I'm in NC!

I have a milestone birthday party to attend after Thanksgiving, but other than that nothing really. We used to go to a lot of parties when DH was working and our neighborhood was young (lots of neighbors would host holiday parties.)

Now however it's a small group for Thanksgiving and a large Christmas family gathering. I like to dress nicely but I still want to be comfortable even if others may be much more casual.

Not sure what we're doing for NYE.

The Q likes to sell a fantasy lifestyle for many. I find myself getting pulled into it sometimes....I have to snap out of it!

I have several club parties, church and Sunday School parties, parties at groups where I volunteer and then 3 family get-togethers but I will be dressing, most of the time, as if I am going to church, nothing more except for one and I will not be formal there, just long palazzo pants, a sequin top and velvet jacket, all of which I have had for years.

@this is my nic......bet the hosts will be glad when the holiday shopping is done. And would bet $$$$ they don't go to very many parties.....just too tired after working so hard.

As for me, the only thing I have planned is going with my neighbor above me to her parent's for Thanksgiving dinner. That's it.....live a pretty sedate life.
