Christmas was cancelled

Two people were laid off from our company in December and so it was felt inappropriate to hold a Christmas party. Our very efficient office manager had booked a table some months in advance at The Vineyard in Stockcross for this party and was told that the deposit could not be refunded but that we could keep the reservation for six months. Therefore we held our 2008 Christmas party on Saturday and I brought along two small Christmas trees as table decorations and a couple of left over Christmas crackers to celebrate. We had fun. The crackers were pulled but nobody wore the hats. Shame!
