I have missed office parties in the past. If anyone asked me why, I usually said I wasn't feeling good or I had another commitment. Do what is best for you. Parties are hardly ever mandatory.

I do feel like if a company is going to have a party, they shouldn't make people feel obligated to attend or take money out of there pocket to buy food or gifts. That is how I think about these things.
Thanks for this!
