How do they celebrate Christmas/the holidays where you work? Our office has decided to do an ugly sweater competition at our potluck and I can't wait 🤣. Plus we had a guy come and put icicle lights up around the eaves. When I worked at a hospital we could never decorate so I'm really enjoying it.

Our office is really not into stuff like competition or fun activities. But what I like about our office is we get to pick from a jar every morning the daily wishes of our co-workers. Then you have to find a way to fulfill such wish. Like, a free coffee or a shoulder massage.

I really love a good ugly sweater party. We're having a regular ole Christmas Party but I might wear my ugly sweater anyway lol

Sounds like fun! I wish we had gotten a little more creative with our celebration. But I think I'm going to suggest a fun uniform we can put on during. How does an animal onsie party sound like?

We celebrate it the same exact way, but this year some of the younger SWs thought it would be a good idea to do a TikTok dance off, and I'm both scared and intrigued about how it's gonna pan out. I'll just be watching from the sidelines, though hahaha

I really love seeing this! We're not getting in the holiday spirit this time but have my own tree at home ready to go :)

We have a christmas party on the last day before we leave for the holiday break. We exchange a white elephant gift and thats about it.
