Does your workplace have a Christmas staff party?

Yes we do. It's a bit of a big deal but as I've only been there 3 months and find the social side extremely stressful I won't be going. As I'm in a hotel you won't be surprised that the party is in one of our function rooms. I plan to work that night as we aren't closed and still have to cater to guests.

Yes, we do have parties at work too. The most recent party we celebrated was the World Teachers' Day. It was fantastic. We had a lot of games and we won. On the other hand, after that day, my body was in pain. Haha! We needed to use our physical body to win the game. We also ate a lot of foods. That was really unforgettable. The next party we will be having is Christmas Party.

I haven't worked in almost 7 years but when I did, our department would often go out for lunch during the holidays.

We don't have a Christmas party in the formal sense, but we do a Secret Santa gift exchange followed by a holiday luncheon. Oh, we also do an office door decorating contest.

I'm retired, but received my yearly invitation in the mail. I go with my hubby, but can't make it this year. We always have dinner, an open bar, and dancing. My colleagues and principals love it when we make our appearance! Lol! We will be readying the house and ourselves for Florida.

We have only Year end parties at offices here...

That sounds so wonderful! When I used to work at the local hospital they had a huge Christmas party. The hospital is the largest employer in the area. People wore ballgowns and prizes were given out. The food was buffet style and was delicious!

that will be fun...No staff party...as I don't have a regular job as such..people that work for this firm are scattered all over the country.

There are over 300 people at my workplace. Our owner does a very fancy party for us, like many parties, it is held in January. It is a semi-formal event, with everyone going home with a prize and they have take always-usually nice swag. Last year they had nice embossed water glasses for everyone.

Yes, when I was young and I worked in a office, we had a Christmas party at a restaurant.

My husband's department has one every year.

where i used to work there was a staff party, right now now job, but am going with J to their staff party

I used to work in a part-time job where the staff got a Christmas bonus, a Christmas gift, such as a small hamper, and a staff party. One year it was a night out at the greyhound races with a free bet and light meal as part of the deal. It was OK (although greyhound acing does get a bit repetitive unless you are really keen on it). Then the company was sold. The Christmas bonus and gift were immediately scrapped. The Christmas party was a cheap meal at a hotel in a room shared with other companies' parties. The meal was followed by a show from a rather unconvincing-looking Abba tribute act None of the many new bosses turned up to socialise with their staff. Fotunately I left before the next one.

No party,just an apple!

when I woried in the library we did that too jhad a party for all the staff somei tmes we had the party at the oibrary other times we went out to a restaurant we were also'a close knit group fourteen of us

In our company we always organize a Christmas parties for employees and our agents. It's also the time of the year where we give out awards to those who deserve it and of course bonuses and we do have exchange gifts. At the same time I am also invited to different Christmas Parties by different companies we tied up with.

I think this would have to be the best kind of staff party - just of small group of people who get on well together. Enjoy!

My school always celebrates Christmas as mostly the students are Christians. Well, the students are mostly foreigners. Before the Christmas, we the teacher decorate our school, and there will be a Chrismas party at school one day before the Chistmas. Your boss is a good person for taking you and the other employees for eating out..

We have the group Christmas party intended for all in the Tax Group of the Firm, and we also have the Firm's Christmas for all employees, including partners of the Firm.

SOunds fun, nice that you guys are all close
