Yes. Yes it was.
Likely largely thanks to Bean's Festive Punch, which Bean made with help from Mark and Dom. It was highly delicious and dangerously intoxicating, plus, nothing says "class" louder (loud = classy) than an actual punch bowl beneath a sign demanding that you add more alcohol to your individual glass of punch.
The cat refrained from trying to kill anyone, we didn't overload the balcony and ride it into the street, my neighbors did not complain about the noise, and I got everything all cleaned up.
Also, it was super fun. At least for me.
