Kind of, we don’t call it a “Christmas do”, though. Just ‘holiday celebrations’, to be inclusive. Not all of us celebrate Christmas.

Yeah, I skipped it this year. I've worked at places that do full on blow outs that include awards nights and other that do small ones. They are no substitutes for shite cultures.

My boss will organize a Christmas party in our room for the accounting interns. But the union is planning a big party on a fancy restaurant (not free and not for interns).

most of the places I go have dinner with something catered - nobody trusts anybody's cooking to do any kind of potluck - to be fair, I go to people's houses and see their cats licking the bowls and shit

A little. The working girls here mainly do it for their own enjoyment. I add the cookies.

Christmas is the only holiday my store is closed on
