Office parties can be great sources of information and revelations around coworkers. But the levels of imbibing in all kinds of alcoholic beverages sometimes stop those newly found relationships from taking root – since nobody can build anything on a nonexisting memory. In this story, only Joseph has forgotten the details though, and Carter seems intent on reminding him. The result is an unexpected New Year’s celebration with fireworks both outside and between two men who have been attracted to each other for a while.

Joseph is a good employee, knowledgeable and reserved, totally in control. Except, that is, when Carter is around. The new guy at work turns Joseph into a total klutz, and while this embarrasses Joseph, it doesn’t stop him from being attracted to Carter. The scene in the bathroom at Joseph’s New Year’s party is funny, and it kicks off a discovery of more than joint resolutions for the coming year.

If you like short, snappy stories written with a great sense of humor, if two men who work together and would like to “play” together are your thing, and if you’re looking for a read that is as funny as it is hot, then you might like this short story about new beginnings.

As a collection of stories, I think the 2015 Advent Calendar was one of the best of its kind. I have been following these since 2009, but the number of stories I totally adored has never been this high. And even though I had my ten favorites (see individual titles for my reviews and ratings), I really liked the vast majority of the remainder as well. Each story had something to contribute, and that included (as it does every year) stories of winter traditions other than Christian. I had a ball reading these and already look forward to the 2016 collection.
