PLAYLIST FOR “THE OFFICE CHRISTMAS PARTY” (12.13.14)

13 Dec

Because I was the absolute only one at this Office Christmas Party, there was no sucking up to the boss, no meaningless chit-chat with people you wouldn’t save if they were drowning, and yet, unexplainably, a fight still broke out.

Be sure to scroll down and cast your vote for the Ugliest Sweater. I’ll reveal (or is that revile?) the winner on next week’s show.
