MCMASTER CHRISTMAS PARTY SET FOR DEC. 18

Perhaps the highlight of the Christmas season is almost here. Attorney General Henry McMaster today announced the date of his annual Christmas Awesomefest and, believe it or not, it’s only three weeks away.

From the AG:

It’s that time of year again! Our annual Christmas Drop-In will take place Thursday, December 18, 2008 from 6:00-8:00 p.m. at our home. The address is 1731 Senate Street (corner of Barnwell and Senate Streets) in downtown Columbia. Please RSVP by emailing henry@henrymcmaster.com, or by calling 866.674.2010.

If you’ve ever been to the McMaster Christmas Party, then you don’t need me to tell you that it’s a jolly good time. And almost every player in South Carolina politics shows up.

Unfortunately, that means it also brings out folks like Spartanburg GOP Chair Rick Beltram. Hopefully this year he won’t try to get all wannabe-Jersey mafioso again lest I be forced to break the Christmas spirit.
