First,
ew.
That out of the way, last night's Christmas party went swimmingly, with all the kids behaving themselves. Man, I like small children so much better when they're earning a gold star in conduct. A number of my mother's students were great fun to talk with, too, which mitigated my whole "I have never met any of you" thing. The only downside is that my excessive brownie consumption is haunting me today.
I need another cup of coffee, uncarbonated.
