Hey guy's and gal's.
I work for a small company who doesnt do a Christmas party.
I worked at a large company for 12 years and they always had a huge party every year with bonuses and door prizes and over night stays at Hotels like the Doubletree.
Most of the time with a theme. I miss those day's.
So here goes. What kind of Christmas party are you having ?
I need to live vicariously thru you.
I rented the Dilly Deli for my company Christmas party. They are great to work with and affordable. I bought dinner for 140 people and gave away cool hoodie sweatshirts with the company logo on them. We also had dozens of door prizes.
I own a company that does Christmas Parties as our business, plan, execute and provide many fun extras for them..so far we have been part of 25 Christmas parties with 5 more this weekend..needless to say we are ready for other events come January!
We do a Christmas Party at the French Hen (it was last week). Eat well, play Christmas trivia and do a Dirty Santa (not Sanchez) gift exchange.
My SO's employer had a christmas party at the boss' house. They used to rent nice places like the fire alarm building, but business has only been fair-to-middling the last few years, so they cut the extravaganza.
One of my clients did black light bowling and indoor electric go-karts this year. They rented out the whole bowling alley and hired a party bus to take everyone from the office to the venue and home afterwards, since they're the sort of folk who treat drinking as serious business.
I once worked for a company that handed out a big ham to each employee at Christmas. That was my first year. The second year, they gave each of us a canned ham. But the third year capped it. They laid off most of the employees the week before Christmas.

It's important to be clear.
When I was at the casino they gave out a turkey to every employee and then threw a Christmas party at the race track. The party had a dance floor and karaoke and a bar. Problem was, they always stocked the bar with really cheap well liquer, and couldn't get a decent drink out of it. They had door prizes, but didn't have to be there to collect if you won. I managed to not win anything for four years running. Always found it suspicious that the upper management managed to win the things like the big screen plasmas. I stopped going after the second year, but the stories that came out of it never changed.
