Christmas! Wait... Too soon?

Christmas is advancing in an unnatural high speed, and I've got some inpacking to do.. But first, I will let you know what happened yesterday:
The annually Christmas... Party? (Have no idea what the english word could be, 'cause "party" seems a little wrong...) The event that is feared and loved by different students all over the school. (Yeah, sounds like a 1000, but we are about 200...) And other people don't care because they are home celebrating their totally accidental cold.
Well... The rules are: each person at the school (including teachers) gets a partner (usually opposite gender) to sit besides and to dance with at the "party". There is no way to escape, and lots of people have troubles surviving, but at last, they usually do. Luckily, I was sitting next to someone from my old class, so we knew each others well. (Not that well.)
After a couple of hours the obligatory partner-part was over, and everybody could choose between sitting, eating cake, walk around in random cirkles or dance. Now that I mention it, I won't go further into what I chose...
Disappointment.
