Last night Ron and I went to his company's Christmas party at the Westin Poinsett in Greenville. What a party! I don't think I have ever been to anything like it.
When we arrived and checked in we headed up to the lobby, where we were greeted by waiters in elf suits with drink trays. This lobby had a buffet and then led into the ballroom. Inside the ballroom were more elfs, another buffet, two carving stations, a dance floor, band and DJ! And less you think that is all....up the stairs we went again to ANOTHER buffet and seating that overlooked the lobby!
The buffet was delightful. Each station had cheese wheels and crackers, a vegetable/fruit tray with dip, the best BBQ meatballs, yummy BBQ pork biscuits, my favorite --- crab cakes! and these mushroom stuffed puffs. In addition, there were the roast beef carving stations and then the most unique thing of all --- a potato bar. I don't mean a baked potato bar....you could choose mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes and then load them with toppings sauteed to order. Finally, there were the desserts.......cakes, mini-pies, chocolate log cake, petit fours, and strawberries and chocolate. Talk about going all out for something!! They even had peppermint and gingerbread flavoring for the coffee.
After dinner and meeting Ron's boss, we headed downstairs to the lobby for pictures in front of the hotel's gorgeous Christmas tree. Santa was there for pictures, but he wasn't a very good one and, we think, got fired right as the party started. The band was terrific and when the DJ took over the dance floor filled. We left before the karoake started, but I'm sure it was very entertaining.
I've never been to a Christmas party like this one and we're hoping that things don't change --- we heard they have a great summer picnic, too!
