Christmas Spirit

Last weekend was my works Christmas Party and for the record I would like to point out that the company I work for like to have their Christmas Party on the last weekend in November or the first weekend in December. The other part that I would like to mention is that I to didn’t go to this year’s Party for my own reason which is all I am going to say on the matter.

The first thing that I would like to throw out there is that I do like a good old Christmas Party for two reason, one being that you get to spend a night with the company you are working with eating food and talking to those that you don’t normally get a chance to and second the night always turns out to be good.

Now you might all be wondering what is the catch is and you would be correct but I should point out that this is not aimed at everyone but what I have seen for my owns company’s Christmas Party. I am fully aware that you are going to say that how can I talk about something that I wasn’t at and the answer to that question would be pictures post on a lovely little website called Facebook.

Facebook is a lovely little website where everyone wants to be your friend and they send you friend request where you then except it and then read them (if you are like me) once a day, finding out how bored someone is or posting pictures to try and justify a point. (There I have gone again going off topic so let’s get back on topic shall we.)

So I never went to my company’s Christmas Party but from what I seen from the picture it showed that everyone was at least having a good time and that they were enjoying themselves but for some reason something didn’t look right in some of them. It wasn’t till later that I then realised that there were people at this Christmas Party wearing Jeans.

My question is this to everyone, how did you get the idea that wearing a pair of jeans to a Christmas party was the right decision? I have spend a few days trying understand the logic behind this and I just can’t find one, I could have over looked the whole thing if they were wearing smart trousers and a smart shirt without a tie but the jeans.

Yes I am fully aware that UK fashion has changed a lot and that is a topic for another time but there are standards that should be followed especially for events like these.

Now as I said earlier in the blog I do like Christmas Parties and I have always had fun at them and on some occasions they have been interesting and that I would always encouraged those that think about going to them to go because you have no idea what could happen. Plus I find them to be the gate way into the festive season because once you have been to one you seem to be more the mood for Christmas than if you haven’t been to one but on the flip side if you have it too earlier you can lose the magic of Christmas before you even get close to it.

On a final note how many times a year do you get to the chance to dress to impress or to have something happen that stays with everyone for years to come. For those that have or haven’t had your Christmas Parties yet, I do hope that you have enjoyed or will enjoy them.

Until next time
