Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.
My wife started a new job a month ago, and the company Christmas party is tonight...at 5 fucking o'clock. This is not my first scheduling dilemma of the season. My 7yo had a soccer game during the first Oregon game, and a basketball game during one of the other games, Utah maybe. Both times, I was a good dad and shut my phone off until I caught up to live, and the football gods rewarded me with a UW victory. This is the biggest UW-UO game in history, and probably the biggest game for the program since the 1992 Rose Bowl. Do I.....
I have a conundrum 63 votes
Bail on the Christmas party, and likely my marriage
Go to the party, but watch the game on my phone
Go to the party, shut off my phone, be an engaged, loving, and devoted husband, all while guaranteeing victory for the Dwags

I'll just say this. I've been to a lot of work Christmas parties over the years. Not everyone's husband/wife comes to them. Maybe half. It would be kind of strange if your wife held it against you to miss out. It's HER place of employment, not yours. You're just an extra dude there.
That said, if the Huskies always win when you follow through with other plans, then by all means please go to this Christmas party. Ignore what I said above.
I clearly DGAF about my marriage, only my kids, so here’s what I would say. Christmas office parties happen every year. How often do 12-0 seasons?
Then just buy a dog, worked out great for me.
Good Luck on your choice
Enjoy the Christmas party.
