GOOD TIMES: Some corporations are skimping this year on the annual holiday party (E1), but others are still letting the good times roll. . . . One of the most notable: Hillman Properties, a Newport Beach development firm, on Friday will decorate the largest room at the Ritz-Carlton as a Rio carnival and entertain 600 employees and clients with dancing, drinks and all-night hors d’oeuvres. . . . The cost? No one’s telling, but insiders say such events can top $100,000.
