Office Christmas PartiesMy office this year is having Christmas lunch. In the office. On some desks we are going to clear the monitors off. The computers underneath will keep running as we are behind on some deadlines and need to keep rendering.
OK, so some people aren't getting anything, but how Scrooge-like are your bosses when it comes to Christmas?

A Good Office Party:Okay...the BEST Office Christmas party was when I was working on Wall Street. We rented the WOrld War Two Aircraft Carrier "Intrepid" and had roving magicians, musicians, caricature artists, tours of the ship and two live bands on different floors. The formal dinner was impressive as well. The booze started flowing that afternoon IN the office and we had a half dozen strippers kick off the pre-party festivities.
The evening peaked when, one of our trainees, a heavy kid, dove from the flight deck of the ship into the Hudson River complete with tuxedo and white silk scarf. He made $5,000 for the stunt...we stood there amazed that he did it, but also amazed that he didnt hit the bottom and get stuck! THAT was a GREAT party. I was worthless for two days.
Then last year, working for a National US co. in DC, we had finger foods at the ESPN Zone and the firm covered one beer. What a let down. I should have never left Wall Street. D'oh!
Sic Semper Tyrannis!
