Our office hosted the building Christmas party tonight and it was a success. The theme this year, and the past 3 years (what? why fix what isn’t broken?) has been a wine potluck appetizer sprinkled with desserts. What type of company or building holiday parties do you guys host/attend? Please feel free to share!
The different appetizers our building neighbors brought consisted of taquitos, chicken wings, chips and dip, chicken and steak nachos, dips, veggies and dip and so many more. Desserts included adorable cupcakes, cookies and about 3 different types of pie. Our boss was very excited to finally bring in a dip he’s been raving about — him and a number of guests that have attended his other holiday parties.
The dip consists of different cheeses, chutney and onion, sprinkled with bacon bits. It’s similar to a seven layer dip in the sense that each bite carries you through different taste bud emotions-all good ones, I assure you. Pair the dip with appetizer crackers and enjoy!
