I never bother these days. Its all a muted affair that sometimes can take place as late as bloody March - our employer has no interest in chipping in nor giving a bit of leeway in maybe time ( early finishes ) or allowing a little pre-drink on works premises. However throughout the rest of the year they try and promote team spirit !!??
Then there's the people you have to attend with. Managers who are stony faced and can't wait to get away before someone abuses or even lamps them. Middle aged blokes and women who start off reserved get mullered and do some really embarrassing stuff. Younger staff who start off reserved get mullered and.....you get the picture.
Then there's the walk of shame next working day hoping there are no repercussions.
I'd rather go for a night out with friends and family of my choosing.
Also by not going its one less bone dry turkey Christmas dinner to have to eat.

About 7 years ago was on an all expenses paid do at "The Reebok", 1 of the temps who happened to be a Blackburn fan managed to get on the pitch via an open directors box and proceeded to shit on the centre spot, needless to say we didnt see him again.

Not been on one of these for about 15 years.
Just took the missus on hers in town. They look as shit as ever and you can spot them a mile away.
Oh, and driving through the city centre is fucking horrid.
Merry Christmas.

And what happened the next day in work ?Years ago I went to a do and got so drunk I fondled my boss's wife's breasts and when he took exception I poured beer on his head, then pulled his drenched wig off and started pretending it was a rat by stamping on it. Then I stripped off and stuck my penis in another boss's dessert. He said no problem and just tucked in.

Can I ask? What kind of work were you in? I can’t for one minute think it would have been an office environment?Years ago I went to a do and got so drunk I fondled my boss's wife's breasts and when he took exception I poured beer on his head, then pulled his drenched wig off and started pretending it was a rat by stamping on it.

Went to one of the wifes works do, it was a Russian themed event in a huge marque in the midlands somewhere. Big business and the MD wore a white suit, probably to prove a point but non the less how was I too know he wasn't a waiter. 2 double gins and one for yourself didn't go down too well.
At another one, this time I'd just sold out to our main franchise and so was pure corporate, something I'd never done. The arrangement was there was a staff meeting the following morning and obviously we were all due to attend. In the meanwhile I'd been having a ' close friendship ' with one of the managers from our Midlands branch for about 6 months which no one knew about for obvious reasons and had organised the room to suit....... In the run up to the meeting I suggested that we shouldn't make it too obvious and stagger our entrance to the meeting, I'll go in first and she was to follow and minute or two later....didn't happen, we both entered late, together, well hungover to a round of applause and bollocking off the big cheese on monday.
