The holidays are here! What better way to celebrate than by spending time with all the people you hold near and dear to your heart... and co-workers!
Despite the fact that I'm almost completely socially inept, I do enjoy holiday parties. But that's mostly because I like Christmas music and open bars. And wearing sparkly dresses. However, it's difficult to practice restraint in an open bar situation when you're basically poor and could never afford a night out in a fancy establishment with non-stop drinks otherwise.
I have messed up quite a few times. I have drank all the wine until I got so drunk and angry that I threw my last glass of wine at the floor. That's right, AT the floor. I have done splits in short, sparkly skirts. I have sang karaoke with a group of girls, ultimately stealing the microphone completely because I was really feeling a Spice Girls song. I have told people the truth. The bad, drunk kind of truth.
So, while I thoroughly believe you should go out and make your own mistakes to hopefully learn from - here are some tips on how to behave at your company's holiday party - and some interesting information on holiday parties in general from the folks over at TinyPrints! (Such as 75% improved office friendships, errybody!)
