Pity the WSJ staffers who were left out of News Corp.'s big bash at the NY Hilton on Friday and instead celebrated this afternoon in the not-so-jolly 12th floor conference room of the Journal's HQs.

It has been an eventful year. Let's swap stories and good cheer over food and alcoholic beverages and softer fare at WSJ.com's unofficial holiday party. Come one, come all.

When: Tuesday, Dec. 11, 2007, from 5 p.m.
Where: 12th Floor, Large conference room

Please RSVP with a one-liner so we know how much food and beer to procure. See you there.

Procure? Where are they getting their goodies from, the Pentagon?
