[quote=Anonymous]Last really good Holiday Party I went to was xmas 1999 when my friend invited me to her AOL/Time Wartner Holiday Party in Manhttan.

They had Aerosmith perform at the Holiday Party. I heard they paid Aerosmith one million for the performance. May not sound like a lot of money today. But in 1999 was a good amount of money.

I think xmas 1999 (pre-9/11) and pre 2000 Stock Market Crash and pre the PC police distroying fun was last big fun parties.

A brief comeback in xmas 2003-2007 but Financial Crash of 2008 killed it off.

I went to one when in College. My older brother had a plus one WOW. They had several very famous older people on board. A movie star, her TV star husband, Brother in law current President and they actually line up to shake our hands. Was at Waldorf Astoria. And we invite some really big clients and such. Was real A list.

My Mom's  company had a team that their job YEAR ROUND was to plan the holiday party.

They hada 100,000 employees, everyone could bring a guest and so 200,000 people attending. They had offices in multiple cities so was a lot of planning. Was highlight of year for most people. I know my Mom it was the single biggest event she ever attended. Her even was at a very fancy catering hall that held up to 3,000 people. Can you imagine her party was only 1.5 percent of the 200,000 invited.        [/quote]
