This past Friday night we went to my company Christmas party at a nice hotel in downtown. Almost 60 people were there, half of which were all my co-workers. It started at 6 with cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. All the food and drinks were free, which was really nice. They had carolers and a small band playing all night too.

Dinner was served around 7:15, and included 4 courses of food from the local restaurant Lola. There was a winter salad served with apples and nuts, then a fried cod with leek course. After that was medium cooked steak strips with kelp and potatoes and cranberries. Everyone seemed to be complaining about the undercooked steak, but it looked fine to me. Then they brought out dessert and everyone received a small portion of crème brûlée, a coconut pie bite, and a tiny rich chocolate cupcake.

It was all very good and we both had a good time talking to my co-workers and enjoying the nice atmosphere. Parking was also free, so that was nice to do instead of walking in the freezing cold and wind.
