Or did they book a venue and send out invites nearly a year in advance?!
This. Because we booked in July last year and it was too late to fit us all in close to Christmas and we had to have it early in December and no one really felt Christmassy. So the team is jumping on the ball to book it up before anyone else....
What? Half the people invited won't even still be there by Christmas. Didn't you say you have a new boss? That sounds like the kind of thing a new boss does to look busy,
Most likely true, because we're being sold. And maybe it's a good thing, maybe the new owners will throw us a Christmas party we won't have to pay for ourselves!
Didn't come from my boss, as he's in California and won't even give a toss about when we celebrate Christmas. He probably won't even be my boss by then. The amount of change around here is unreal.
