Sigh, need to edit my own situation. Our only real change is that we're doing it in January simply due to lack of availability in December. The budget has been blown up a bit but we're proceeding as planned.

I can top that. it's going to be a pot luck at my house lol. But we are a small, 6 person operation. Last year it was lunch at Nash, which wasn't that exciting. This year we will at least have an excuse to drive whiskies all night.

No change to ours. Same as last year.

We were told to reduce our party costs by 50%

So we're cutting the blow with baking soda, and having to split hookers between 2 people.

Might be able to cut more than 50% of the budget then.

My company is moving the party from Smugglers inn to Spicy hut this year.

Ours was cancelled this year along with anything that may be interpreted as fun...

[KO22]

45% cut, still at BMO, last year was absolutely insane though, budget must of been millions. Better still have the free booze though

[bjstare]

Wife's company is still holding theirs (rents out a small fancy restaurant). Mine's cancelled. Was a huge event at the BMO centre with tons of food, live band, etc.

Mines in the office cafeteria in the afternoon.

What? You guys have christmas parties? We don't, not even money towards one....but we're the big bad public sector. My bonus is I don't have to work christmas this year, first time in 7 years my schedule lines up

[ExtraSlow]

You have a pretty big chip on your shoulder about this public vs private thing. Gotta learn to relax bro.

Girlfriends is moved from Hotel Arts (was open bar two Xmas ago), now a $20 cover to get in at some shitty restaurant downtown...
