I went to a works Christmas party quite a few years ago held at a local pub
I was new in the job at the time and didn't realise we all had to pay for our own dinner so at the end of the night I went waltzing off to get my lift home when someone came running down the street after me to remind me not so quietly that I had to pay for my dinner before I could go home that was the first and last time i ever went
We have ours next week and I'm dreading it. I already tried to tell my very overbearing co-worker I didn't want to go, my excuse being I didn't like the menu choices but she wouldn't take no for an answer
Had an off-work party with my old colleagues the other day. Was much better. Luckily our place isn't throwing one this year so can just go on leave for Christmas in peace.

I wasn’t going to go to mine, went and got far too drunk. Have spent all weekend wondering whether I’ve said something I shouldn’t have to someone. Not worth the anxiety it causes. I’m not going next year .
