Very true, for me. A couple nights ago, we went to a Christmas party at a friend's house. About 5 or 6 families. All our kids went to elementary school with each other, but now they're in middle school so we don't see each other on a daily basis anymore. It was great. Partially because the hostess is a set designer, and all her parties are beautiful. But moreso because even the kids have grown up a little bit, they still all get along really well and like each other.
Contrast that to my office Christmas party last weekend. I know everyone (or at least half--I don't always know the spouses) and like everyone (we all get along together at work), but I **hate** these things and would rather not go if I had the option. Couldn't get out of there fast enough after dinner, open bar or not.
