David Garber, the writer of D.C. blog And Now, Anacostia, posted this weekend about his Friday night Christmas party. Everything was going smoothly until four men wearing ski masks and carrying guns burst in and demanded “Give us everything!”

The party guests didn’t hand over enough apparently, as Garber said that the robbers then demanded liquor:

“I think he had the wrong idea about who he was robbing, because this had been a ‘bring your favorite beverage’ party, so the mix included more peppermint schnapps hot chocolate, rosemary martinis, and homebrewed honey wheats than the Grey Goose I’m sure he was hoping for. I held up a few bottles, offering up the Pimm’s (my most sacred, the British lawn drink value of which he did not recognize) and a few plastic-bottled tequilas. Unimpressed, the gunman walked back to the front of the house and with the other three left through the front door.”
