Unconventional Christmas Party

1. When the company or employer you work for, doesn't provide an annual Christmas party and an employee(s) throw it instead. "Unconventional" meaning you're invited and can invite your friends, family, co-workers, etc. and your friends can invite their friends, family, co-workers, etc. For some people, their jobs do not have Christmas parties anymore, or they are never asked to one, this remedies the lack of festive celebrations.

The general rule of thumb for attendance, once you are invited, you can invite anyone and then they can invite anyone. Someone should invite you before just showing up. Note: Everyone should pitch in similar to a potluck or a globally set amount to pay for a venue and food.

2. A Christmas Party hosted by anyone but the employer, primarily for their fellow employees. This Christmas party can include, but not limited to, their friends, families, significant other's co-workers and their friends and family.

Hair spider

A tight, tangled knot of loose hair and lint that forms inside clothing during the clothes dryer cycle. It typically hides inside garments, causing an annoying lump or a phantom tickling sensation against the skin until it is found or falls out onto the floor during folding.
