Your boss treating you well, and the fact that you like her ...that can outweigh a lot, imo. I do get along quite well with everyone and my boss, and just received a great annual review...so, in my case, not going would make stress more. lol
Bold mine - I agree.
No, it's not mandatory but we have been in COVID mode since I started working there (actually here, but you know what I mean) so gatherings have been limited. I will probably go but will bow out when it seems to okay to do so.
I've been retired since 2014.
I won't be going to my company's Xmas party, because the boss is an asshole.
Disappointing theists since 1968!

I’m self-employed. I never attend work social functions because my boss is also a tool.

I also retired in 2014. Some of my supervision was of the anal persuasion. Well, most of them. I've never taken the time to see any of my co-workers, except for some who were peers and friends.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Not a bastard by about mumble mumble months. It's on your own lookout when members return, dear.

in air traffic control, the process of resolving conflicts between different aircrafts attempting to use the same block of air space is called, what else, “deconfliction”.
