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?

Not sure if this counts...but it's to do with Christmas tightness.
My brother used to work as a paperboy when he was about 13. Sure enough, Christmas was coming and he was anticipating some big tips, which by and large he got.
Except for one old git who gave him half a five pound note. He'd literally cut in in half with a pair of scissors, stuck it in a card and written something like "you'll get the other half when you stop clanging the letterbox like we told you not to."
Coincidentally, that very neighbour had a large Land Rover-esque vehicle destroy the rear right-hand side tail lights of his Cavalier in a hit-n-run a few days later. My father was right. Having a battered old car can be excellent for concealing your motoring intentions.
