Celebrating the Holiday Season at Work

The holiday season, which it seems is beginning right now, was always such a fun time at my last job. You could find a tasty treat in the staffroom everyday. If there were two things we had in common they would be cooking and eating — we all liked to do both. As proof of that, I came back from my maternity leave at well below my pre-pregnancy weight! Everyone was always very cheerful during the holiday season. One thing that kept us that way was our respect for one another and our differences.

While we enjoyed celebrating the holidays, work went on as usual. We did our jobs just like we did at any other time of the year. We didn't go crazy with gifts either. We had a grab bag at our holiday party with a spending limit of $10. And speaking of the holiday party, I don't think we had alcohol there. That certainly could be a starting point for things getting out of hand. Here are my Top 6 Rules for Celebrating the Holiday Season at Work.
