If there is one thing DC does right every year, it’s the holiday party circuit. Though many get frazzled and overwhelmed by the sheer number of invites, open bars and guest lists – we at FamousDC have it mapped out (literally – see below). The key to keeping up with the holiday cheer is having a game plan and sticking to it. Luckily this list of top holiday parties landed in our inbox over the weekend (as it mysteriously does every year to many hill staffers, journalists and the rest of the district’s partying scene) to get us started on where to RSVP first. Cheers!
