That are easy for my works holiday party on Friday? I like my hair back but I like it down as well.
I wont have much time to fuss as I'm going home to change and go...so simple and quick?

Nothing beats a flexi-8 half updo.
Or you can make a very simple coiled bun and leave the rest down, maybe damp bun beforehand so you have some curls going on.

I think a half up with the top half in a sideways infinity bun (with the extra hanging down your back) with a fancy hairstick looks really nice. I wear my hair like that sometimes and have gotten compliments on it. :)

Maybe the top 1/2 in a gibson braid with a pretty sparklie in there. Then the bottom half down, of course.

This is what I came up with for a party. It shows off the length but keeps my hair contained.

You got barrettes ?My favourite half up is to just put half of your hair in the matching or your favourite barrette.
Spidermom , your hair is looking gorgeous.:)

Wow you have some beautiful long hair.
I don't know how long it would take but the pictures of fairytale braids are pretty. Maybe a half french braid or a Lace Braid (http://www.dreamweaverbraiding.com/braids/lace.htm) ?
Like I said I don't know how long they would take as I am just starting to learn them and on short hair.

Here's one I did last year (image clickable for bigger view):

ETA: You basically do a Topsy Tail, then make 3 braids, then tuck them into the top of the topsy tail.
Edit AGAIN! LOL: You would do this to the top of your hair and leave the bottom down.
