Yeah, it used to be a “Christmas Party,” but…you know. Cuz…yeah, you know that too. Will somebody please step up and explain to the world that “Christmas” for all practical purposes really just means “Winter Holiday” these days and allow everybody to just…let go?
What were we talking about? Oh, right. The WGA Party…for members only but just you wait, boys and girls, you’ll be in the club soon!
