Has anyone been to the Nordstrom holiday party?

I think that's pretty much it. DH and I were planning on going to get him a suit and finish gifts while they are at the 10 point level. I've heard they're super crowded though.

I go every year if I am in town.

It is just shopping with a small selection of appetizers and limited drinks. Ours typically has some type of inexpensive champagne, red wine, white wine, 2 types of beer, coffee and water. A small assortment of hot and cold appetizers (cheese, crackers, mini quiches, etc) plus 2-3 types of dessert items. There may also be a DJ on one floor and if the location has a piano there will also be someone playing it.

Years ago they used to have great food and drinks but they have scaled back in recent years.

Yes, it's basically shopping with drinks. They have trays walking around with appetizers and desserts. I like to have a long gift list before I go. They will price match other stores also, last year Coach, Marc Jacobs, MK, etc were 25% off because Macy's was having a sale. If you are friends with the sales girls, they will hold stuff for you. DH typically puts a few suits on hold.

Oh and gift cards are also 10x points. So stock up on gift cards if you don't see anything you want to buy

Ditto the above. Festive shopping with drinks in hand. Ours is usually the first Sunday in December and I always make plans to go. This year they moved in to this Friday night :/ We have something planned early in the evening so it will be a game time decision. It's fun but not a *must* for me.

This is the first year I'm going, mine happens to be tomorrow night. I'm with 32flavors I'm clearly just a fan of shopping and drinking!
