DEL.ICIO.USWhat should you wear to a holiday office party?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Some people love them, some people hate them, but it’s time for the holiday office party. The AJC has a photo gallery of the 18-hour holiday outfit, designed to take you from your work day through the after-hours office party. Do you prefer business dress or a more casual style for these kind of social events with your office mates?
If your office holiday party involves a gift exchange, this ajcjobs cover story offers good ideas for useful gifts for co-workers, designed to release stress and make one more productive.
And while we’re at it, we have to ask - has any of your co-workers (or yourself if you are willing to admit it) ever committed a fashion crime at an office holiday party? Did their fashion faux pas impact them back in the office?

Where I worked, attendance at any holiday ‘office’ party was mandatory. Christmas parties were always at quality restaurants, and the food & service were good. We usually had our choice of T-bone steak, swordfish steak, vegetarian dishes, etc. That way, there were no worries about cleaning up afterward. If anyone got so drunk they became obnoxious, the restaurant mgmt would escort them to the door.

One Christmas party I went to, a couple of years after I graduated college, I went as the boss. I taped a piece of mistletoe to the small of my back and told my coworkers they had to kiss me to get their bonuses. I thought it was hilarious - him not so much.

Isn’t this the same newspaper that ran an article about how many companies were reducing the size of or cutting out entirely holiday parties this year due to the economy? Do you read your own paper? Why a blog on this subject? We’re just glad we have a job still…

One good thing to come out of the Bush Depression is I’m pretty sure noone will be throwing a Christmas party this year at my work…..
That’s not a bad thing.
