Re: Christmas
I want a Christmas party!
Have just started in a new job and guess what? They don't 'do' Christmas parties.
Our New York office has a massive bash but nothing here
Missed out last Christmas because of the credit crunch and not in a job the year before that. I think the universe is conspiring against me!

Come join ours. It's at an Indian Restaurant.
Go figure.

Re: Christmas
Actually, we have Indian food (and other types) at work on Xmas Day, as one of our Indian colleagues brings in home-made dishes. It's very difficult to resist, even if you're going home to a Xmas meal...

Re: Christmas
We might be saving anywhere else, but we never save on the Christmas Party. We are going somewhere posh in the West End and to a bar afterwards. We will probably have some form of entertainment during the meal as well. The menu looks gorgeous, we have 3 choices each and I know exactly what I am having already.

Re: Christmas
It's a good thing I don't like parties and "do's", or I might feel deprived after reading all this! But if you work for a 24/7 organisation, you can't have a Xmas meal/party, anyway, because some of the staff would need to be working. We can still have fun at work, and quite honestly, I get fed up with seeing food everywhere, day after day.

Re: Christmas
John Lewis have sent me a voucher for a free hot drink and mince pie - and I don't need any encouragement to go to John Lewis anyway; it's about the only store I do like visiting! It might not sound much, but their cafes are quite expensive so I wouldn't visit one if I had to p*y. There were other vouchers, too, but for a draw and minimum spends, so this is the only one whcih will definitely be of use.
