What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We had been to a couple really awkward office Christmas parties, including one at our production company. It's just a really interesting place, an event that hadn't really been captured.
I understand why offices need to have office parties. I understand why offices need to have betting pools. No matter what the job, you need things to foster camaraderie and let off steam.
I'd rather do community service than sit and write a load of Christmas cards.
No one goes into the office for fun. You go, and even if you love it, you're there to work.
There's always been something a little pathetic for me at the work parties I've attended, especially thinking back to the restaurants I worked in. I remember a Christmas party in which we all got free T-shirts with the restaurant on the front and our names on the back.
Pfft, I hate Christmas Day. It's for children and families. Not for people like me.
I definitely feel like I'm at that point where it's nice to not have to sit at home and wait to be invited to the party, but to be creating work for yourself.
I'm a huge holiday person. I love having parties and giving gifts.
My dad's a firefighter, so I know what it's like for policemen and firefighters to be on their own on Christmas Day.
What's great about an office Christmas party is that it uncovers and reveals parts of your personality that you didn't see coming.
