And finally, someone's house. You can probably get away with showing up without booze. You probably don't have to wear anything fancy (they already know you're a slouch), and your familiarity with other party guests may increase your chances of swilling some free champagne (and swapping some spit) at midnight! So get out there, and try to save a little more money in 2009.
