\"The<\/p>\n

Hey, the Christmas party season has officially started<\/strong>! At\u00a0least, here in\u00a0London people seem to be rushing around organising and booking the few venues that seemed to be\u00a0left, especially offices. This year, I started to see adverts with promotions as early as late\u00a0July, in the height of the glorious summer, which seemed to be rather awkward.<\/p>\n

The first of my Xmas parties this year took place yesterday. It will be a fun party with music and friends. But, not all Christmas parties are\u00a0like that<\/strong>. In fact, office workers seem to dread the parties organised by their companies. They are all so different, though. They range from informal dinners at a restaurant and drinks to the type of\u00a0lavish parties at expensive venues, such as\u00a0the office party that\u00a0I attended\u00a0last year.<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the stories that usually come out of them can be really funny – or really aweful. Maybe, that\u00b4s what people fear?<\/p>\n

Have you had any funny shenanigans<\/strong>?\u00a0<\/span>Share them with us! I<\/span>\u00a0have dag up the infographic below, which contains some tips and fun stuff. The excuses there are hilarious. \u00a0Enjoy your Christmas parties.<\/p>\n
