Do you have a work Christmas party?

[HeadFairy]

And do you go?

Do you enjoy them?

Our work does but no I don't know. I work an hour's drive from home, and TBH never really fancy it. Prefer to go out with friends instead. This year I will be on holiday anyway.

DH's work has an annual party in January rather than a Christmas one. He does go to that.

Yes, yes and yes.

DH has a huge works christmas party black tie, gorgeous food free booze lots of fun once we relaxed and stopped trying to socialise with everyone and just enjoyed the small group of friends we have gone with,
usually has 4 or 5 different rooms with different themes of food and drink and music.

it was James Bond last year Huge revolver ice sculpture vodka luge.

yes!what happens on night out stays on night out.meal,lots alcohol,big ole yee haw.

I used to love the parties we had at my old company, they were brilliant, we were all pretty young and got on famously so they were a right laugh. Now I work for a huge company, I'll know maybe 5% of the people at the party. I've worked here 6 years and in my department I'm quite well known, but there's nearly 5000 of us all together. Feel like I'm really missing out, not really getting in to the Christmas spirit. Ah well, you can't go back to your crazy youth can you?

We have a dinner dance in a local hotel and most of us stay over. I always enjoy it, get there early, have a bath & best part of a bottle of wine while getting ready. It's always fun the next morning at breakfast.
