Default Xmas Parties
I love this time of year, when everyone starts thinking about Xmas parties.

What are you doing / have you done for yours?

The best one we've had was a very Daft Punk Xmas, where we all went to Daft Punk concert and had lots of fun before, during and after.

My old job had this crazy boss. He took us all out clubbing (Melbourne) and passed around our Xmas presents.. small bags filled with party drugs. He was so wasted by the end of it that I was holding him up as he sweated all over me.

I have heard the company went out of business not long after that.

My work is cheap and alcoholic. They spend the very limited budget overwhelmingly on booze, despite the fact in a survey approx 25% of staff said they do not drink alcohol, me included.

I understand there should be alcohol, but not the majority of the budget!

My work throws a charity ball and this years theme is "a night at the races" so now I need to buy a dress...is it inappropriate to wear chucks with a girly dress? I hate dresses...
Christmas day involves me working all day. Awesome.

I think my current company is taking its cue from the queen and not having one! Cheap arse bastards!

The best one I ever went to was a smallish work one (50ish ppl) at The Prince in St Kilda! Cosmos on arrivals, great food, and the major door prize was a $5000 travel voucher... Why did I ever stop working for that company???

As for one with friends... best was in my ex's Newtown backyard... we made random cocktails and ate chicken wings!

At my last job all management would do is give $25 per staff member and it was up to their manager to decide what to do with it. Apparently it was $25 for the past 10 years. Upper management however had a swanky party thrown for them. That always annoyed me.

Christmas is my favourite time of year!

Social Diaries Christmas parties are always the best - the goodie bags are amazing!
Be kinder than necessary - everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle!

I find that Late September starts getting busy and it keeps getting busier socially until new years.
