We have a Christmas party. Yes I know that this is no longer a PC claim and PC police are now tracking my every move and post for further hearsay.
Yes I have Jewish people tied to my office, yes they are invited. No they are not offended. But they are currently outnumbered by the Christians. As a Lutheran I also stand isolated from the Catholic staff. No one cares.
We do not have presents involved. It is a celebration of our successes and a mourning of our failures of the year. It is a coming together to celebrate that we have remained together for another year and have plans for future successes.
It is a time for us to relax, have a good meal and learn a bit more about peers’ significant other. It is to have fun relax and enjoy one another’s company without the pressures of work.
