Share some holiday party horror stories.
I once went to a holiday party where the DJ played really inappropriate music. It was supposed to be a family - friendly event, but he started playing some very loud and vulgar music. The host was furious and had to quickly find some other music to play, but the mood had already been soured for a while.
At a holiday office party, the power suddenly went out. People were stumbling around in the dark, and someone accidentally knocked over the Christmas tree. Ornaments were shattered all over the place, and it took ages to clean up. Plus, it kind of ruined the party mood.

It was a nightmare trying to find candles and deal with the flooding water while the storm raged outside. We ended up leaving the house in the middle of the night and finding a hotel.
