Does your work throw Christmas parties? The last work Christmas party for me was in 2008, this...

We did last year. I won a flat-screen tv in a raffle held there.

I only have a bike so I rode with that thing under my arm for 3.5 miles

The last few years they have been cancelled, and now I am self-employed . My husband's work is likely planning on something. If the midterm elections go as predicted, they will likely do that or a NYE party to celebrate. Those are fun!

the Hospital has a black tie Christmas Affair and my husband provides tickets to any of his staff who wish to attend. we invite them to our New Years Eve party along with spouses or a date

They did. Well not last couple years. But doing it this year. I've only went to a couple. Way too many regrets lol

You can come to ours. Bring a side dish. For 400 people approximately

Nope, they just give two hours of Admin leave to be used in December, in theory for a Co-workers get together if you guys decide to have one.

But I think most just use it and either take off early, or use six hours of normal leave to take off a full 8 hour day.

Yes, they hold parties in a hotel normally. Never been, never will. I am anti-social and do not like Christmas.

We have a small office, but I throw some kind of party for everyone each year. Leaning toward a fancy dinner at an awesome restaurant this year, including spouses.

They used to throw the best parties.
Beer n bbq.
Now it’s a dinner dress 5 course meal at some swanky hangout in the city and you bring your wife/husband.
Nobody goes except management..

I have to say one downside to retirement and s missing Christmas parties and summer picnics associated with work.

GLITTER · 36-40, F

Not usually but we have new bosses and they actually made a budget for Xmas party this year! I’m organising it

FrozenWasteland · 61-69, M

My work Christmas parties are epic.

Of course, I'm self employed and don't have any minions, so they're kinda small.

crystalkid · 56-60, T

I think they still do. Nothing the last two years, and I haven’t heard the plans for this year

Oster1 · M

legal ramifications, ended most. I enjoyed so many.

Fullmetal · M

I never attend! Too much could go wrong!

Underconstruction · F

Yes and I never attend.

When the eggnog flowith, there could be tomfoolery?

Waafa · 26-30, F

No.

More like these pathetic office luncheons that no one even wants. One year they actually put it to a vote whether people wanted the luncheon or just a $20 giftcard and I'm pretty sure everyone opted for the giftcard. They haven't made that deal since. I usually just come up with an excuse as to why I have to leave the office if I'm not already off that day.

Ducky · 31-35, F

Yeah. I hate them.

sarabee1995 · 26-30, F

Oh! Can I send you to my work Christmas party in my place? I hate them!

BrokenAbyss

I hated those 😆 it was cool once the boss left

MayorOfCrushtown · M

yeah, its cheesy and corny and nobody goes except for the admin people who bend over and kiss the bosses ass. my section does our own Christmas celebration and its pretty cool.
