Works xmas do. I work with some really good people.
I gave mine a miss. A few good folks there but also some cu... mpletely unlikeable people. 
I'm happy on my sofa with some brandy, trawling the internet and listening to music... and of course, communicating with people like yourself, far finer folks! 
I hear you, Master Ray - I did attend ours; it was quite ok, actually, got to sit with some of the "good" people - but, as per usual, after a few drinks certain people, amongst them from the management, started their usual "banter", consisting mostly of more or less racial and sexist slurs. Pathetic.
BUT...I did get to drive (and take home) one of the company cars...the TESLA SUV. Now that was quite an experience...
