This year will be the first that there will be no employer paid for evening Christmas party for staff and their partners.  Instead we're having a meal out at lunchtime for all those that wish to participate.  Staff are paying for this lunch themselves and we're trying to keep the price down as much as we can.  Everyone is feeling the pinch this year...there's been hardly any interest in two different attempts at organising an evening do paid for by employees.

We do not buy for or receive individual gifts from clients as it's against company policy.

Not sure yet about Xmas decorations in the office.  Will have to ask line management if it's wanted.
