Christmas parties-good, or not so much?

This week, I have three Christmas parties to go to. One is for Secret Santas at work. One is for a committee I’m on. And one is for a group of friends. In addition, an office committee is having a lunch meeting this week in honor of the holiday.
Wow. Talk about heavy scheduling. This morning, my Sunday school class had a little party. Last Friday, the Argus newsroom had our holiday potluck. Earlier last week, I hosted a Christmas get together for another group I belong to.
Can Christmas parties get out of hand? It can get to be pretty hectic scheduling around all of these celebrations.
There are advantages, however. For example, the get together with friends for dinner later this week is in lieu of gifts. Many of my friends are at a point where our houses are full of stuff, and spending time together is actually more of a treat than opening a package.
I look forward to the get togethers, even if they do crowd the schedule. But how about you? Do you skip some of these celebrations? Do they burn you out during a season when you might like to be more mellow and do some reflection?
What are your thoughts?
