It's the holiday season, and hosting a Christmas party is one of the best ways to celebrate and get in the mood. Hosting an office Christmas party not only conveys to your staff your appreciation for them, but it's also the one occasion on the work schedule that everyone eagerly anticipates.

Due to the fact that annual business Christmas parties are essential, there is always a high level of preparation involved. Planning a Christmas office party can be somewhat demanding.

You have to plan the evening around a theme and consider purchasing food, drinks, and holiday décor. For this reason, you need a vibrant and dynamic team to assist you in planning every minute detail.

You can assign jobs and tasks to your staff if your company does not have an HR department. That's an additional test that can demonstrate whether or not your partnership is effective.

But the OP of today's story took it upon herself to always throw a big Christmas party at her place, and she's been doing so for over a decade. Years ago, at one of the Christmas parties the OP threw, her friend Tara met her former co-worker Tony, and they hit it off.

They dated for a while and announced their engagement at another Christmas party the OP hosted. They had their wedding but never invited the OP, so she took them off her guest list during her upcoming Christmas party.

Find out what happens next as you read the full story below.

The headline

OP's party is something they consider special and they think she is being petty

OP has offered the following explanation for why they think they might be the a-hole:

Action I took: I throw the biggest christmas party in town every year. I didn't invite 2 friends of ours because they snubbed my partner and me from being invited to their wedding, despite the fact we introduced them.

Why might I be the a-hole: It's a big party every year and they're the only friends of ours who didn't get an invite.

And the comments roll in...

We shouldn't prioritize people who don't return the energy

The OP and her partner put so much energy into planning

The OP can invite whoever she wants to invite to her party

This Redditor respects the OP for being petty

The OP reveals more in the comments section

We never got an explanation, just never received an invite. It got back to me through a mutual girlfriend they were trying to limit the guest list, but we had dozens of other friends there.

I just think it's kind of funny they're getting our friends to try and get them an invite now after they just pretended we weren't a part of their lives.

It is a smaller party this year

She might be pregnant and they want to announce it there

The OP is only following their footsteps

Our party can't be as big as your wedding

Obviously, people who came to the OP's event got a snazzy engagement party that had bartenders and was catered for free. Many Redditors found it really awkward that they're more upset that they're missing the party and not for the fact that they hurt the OP, even if it wasn't their intention.

The OP was declared not the AH, and you, too, can drop your verdict in the comments section below.
