The (4th annual) corporate Christmas party for a work-at-home freelance journalist
Sitting in my little basement office, eating appetizers and playing games with myself … while all dressed up?
Yeah, that’s something I’ve been doing for FOUR YEARS NOW. (See the very first one, the second one, and last year’s party.)
 |
| Last year’s party was off the chain … whatever that means! |
 |
| The only party where I had some actual guests! |
 |
| The one that started it all |
When I presented at BlogJam Atlantic, it was crazy to meet other bloggers and find out that my weird little stay-at-home party was actually … a good idea?
Anita from Twirp Communications suggested we get together and host a bunch of self-employed Christmas parties on the same day, so here we are! Let’s get started … and be sure to read all the way to the end for the giveaway because PRIZES!
So here we go!
 |
| There were some real studs at this year’s party! |
 |
| The mashed potato bar was mmmmmmmmmm! |
 |
| And this is the ULTIMATE dessert! How’d they know?! |
 |
| Twelve bloggers peeing! Four gambling birds! Lolololol! |
 |
| FOUR YEARS IN A ROW! This is unprecedented! Time for presents! |
 |
| We love a good dance party! |
 |
| Thank you to all of my clients, sponsors and editors for a fantastic year. Have a safe and happy holiday season, and I can’t wait to work with you in 2017. |

This looks like so much more fun than any corporate Christmas party I've had to attend! Yoga pants are much better than getting dressed up!

This is amazing news. You should really be proud of yourself, Heather.
I hope you've updated your resume! 😀
This made me laugh so hard during Blog Jam Atlantic 2016. It was a highlight of the day for me for sure. The bottomless Diet Coke made me snort laugh – right there in public – so good!
Merry Christmas! I am so glad your lonesome office party is morphing into a *total* thing for bloggers and WAHMs and people who live to VPN into the office. 😀
YAY!
