We had a holiday soiree chez nous, and the turn out was fantastic! I always find it impressive when people come to visit us. Let's face it, they've got a lot working against them:
- Our place is hard to get to. It's off the local 6 line, which only runs along the east side.
- It's practically in the east river.
- It's on the 6th floor of a walk-up building. I usually go down to accept packages or meet the delivery boy dropping off my dinner half-way so they don't have to walk all the way up our steps.
So we were pleasantly surprised at the turnout for our party. It worked out so well that people seemed to come in shifts: a bunch of my friends at first while Ash was preparing the food, a bunch of Ash's friends when I was preparing the mulled cider, and a few more of my friends who showed up in time to enjoy the cider. We had a bitchin' playlist comprised of classic holiday jingles, remixed christmas jams, and some of our favorite tunes. Ash prepared some delicious stuffed mushrooms, asian-style latkes, and risotto cakes. All in all, it was a smashing success (with the exception of an incident where we ended up with black and red wax all over our living room. minor snag). We have the best friends in the world, and we were so excited to be able to celebrate the holidays with our favorite people! Stay tuned for the next one!
