Work Christmas Parties

Anyone attending one this year? Is it for your job or DH's? Is it at a restaurant? Hall? The workplace itself? What do you usually wear to such an occasion?

Re: Work Christmas Parties

  • DH informed me yesterday that his job is having a Christmas party next Friday. Of course he had absolutely no details for me as far as where it was going to be, what time it was going to be at, etc. etc.

    All I can say is that I'm gonna' try to lay off the Christmas cookies for the next week and a half so that I can actually fit back into something cute.  I don't want to be the fugly wife. lol Embarrassed

  • Happily not attending either. However, my sister was supposed to throw a party for our old CWs and I asked her today when it was and she said she decided not to do it but I'm bummed because if I knew sooner, I would have possibly thrown one. Oh well? 

     

    I'm honestly more excited for New Years than Christmas, and then I'm excited for Spring!

  • My work is having a Christmas lunch next Wednesday and we're playing Secret Santa.  Hope I get something good!  Big Smile

    I'm not sure about DH.  I know they are planning a nerdfest/G2G on Thursday night in Royal Oak, but I think that's it. Huh?

    Thank you for the vote of confidence Kristine. (Sidenote, we need to get together after the holidays!)

  • I have one tomorrow.  It's a catered lunch followed by a white elephant gift exchange.  It usually gets pretty funny, so I don't mind going.  Plus free food = awesome.

  • My work party is tomorrow and I can't go!  I'll be a stupid meeting instead.  I feel lame, but I'm super bummed about missing it. :'(

    Oh geez, that's right.  I'm sorry for even bringing it up. Sad

  • Ours is at the Reserve in Birmingham. It is a lunch thing, so we go to work in the morning and then head over. And since we wear jeans to work everyone just wears jeans over there. It's usually fun because we also have an after party at a bar where everyone pretty much gets hammered. Should be interesting this year since I'll be the DD!

  • We do a big potluck thing, and then the firm does a drawing for gifts. Last year I won the biggest gift...a tv.  I returned it and got the cash. lol  It's nice, because we all have a good time chatting, actually drink some alcohol (like a glass of wine if you want it), and then generally head home after that because no one is actually going to work.

  • No Christmas party here.  Ryan's work has a get together at BBW during work hours, so I don't get to go.  I'm really not all that sad about it though...  ;)
