Organizing Christmas Parties is always a logistical headache. First off you have to organize when you are going to have your Christmas party based on the availability and preference of everyone who is going to attend. Christmas parties in offices can be even more complex to organize as there are often a good number of people involved and one person will be given the responsibility of organizing the whole thing. Then on top of this you have find a venue, book it, collect everyone’s deposits and hope it goes well. Of course there is always someone who moans on the night, often saying things like “why did we chose here”, ruining your night in the process...
