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?

Can't afford a subject lineI have been organising my company's Christmas party for 4 years. The first year, the budget was about £10,000. We bussed in all the staff from our other UK office and put them up in a hotel; we had 3 comedians, a disco and more vodka than most of us could store about our persons.
The budget has shrunk somewhat over the years and this year I'm working with ...£60. What have I come up with? We're having lunch (not dinner) with half a bottle of wine per head (no beer or spirits), no entertainment, and as a "reward" we're giving away some wine that has just resurfaced after 4 years at the back of the marketing cupboard, and was pretty cheap and nasty to begin with.
I say "giving away" -- actually, we're *raffling* 6 of the 40 bottles we found, and saving the rest. To give to our customers.
