We will have a staff party, as in previous years, paid for by our company.  It is never a particularly lavish affair and consists of a jolly good dinner and entertainment somewhere here in London not too far from our offices.   About an hour before the company events begins, we have our "secret Santa" gift giving, which is fun, a drink or two and some nibbles.

We need to keep the offices looking business-like and so our decorations are very modest.  We put up a Christmas tree in our reception and we also have one in our staff room.  We don't decorate the offices, although we display Christmas cards and some people will have seasonal plants around their desks/offices.
