This year I have been invited to a lot of Christmas parties. Well, not exactly invited, but I have a lot of parties to go to. And not like I am crashing the parties that I wasn't invited to either. These are parties like, the school functions, the home that I work at has a party, and church parties. But I am only going to a few of the parties that I could go to. The reason being.... okay, i have a list of reasons.
1. Potlucks - Many of the parties are the kind that you are suppose to bring a delicious dish to share. I don't cook. I don't bake. I don't make delicious dishes. So I have this dilemma of going if I'm not going to make something. If it is a big group, then I don't feel bad not bringing something. But a small gathering would notice that I didn't bring anything.
2. Crowds - I am socially awkward most of the time, but trying to get better. I can only take so much on one day. So if I have two parties on one day I have to choose which one to go to.
3. Work - I have a really strong work ethic. So if the party is during work hours, I don't feel like I can take the time off.
4. Too much effort - If the party would be too much effort to get to and get home from, I won't go.
5. Stupid - If I think the party will be stupid, I don't go.
Those are my reasons. So if you invite me to a party and I don't show up, you can ask yourself, "Was it a potluck? Was it too crowded? Or was it stupid?"
