Where have all the parties gone?

So I have to tell about the cutest party that I went to but first about parties. Why is it that no one has parties anymore? I'm not talking about birthday parties. I'm talking about just plain old fun get together parties like dinner parties and big Christmas parties and Halloween parties and parties like that. I know that there are probably some people out there that throw them (at least Christmas ones) but you hardly ever see them anymore. I want to go to dinner parties. There need to be more get togethers and parties! This is one reason I wish I lived in the 50's!
