There's room for everyone on the Santa's Nice List. But how do we really get our "ho! ho! ho!" mode activated in Office Christmas Parties without awkwardly creating embarrassing moments? On regular parties you do involve a couple of drinks, music, dancing and just letting yourself out. These goes for our weekend party animals. However in Office Christmas parties, you would want to keep the good impression since your colleagues and bosses will be around. Let's discuss about a few pointers on how to be carefully enjoying.
Office Christmas parties sometimes do involve alcoholic drinks and cocktails. Good music and of course the delightful meals for everyone to enjoy. Do enjoy the party but don't drink "til you drop. The last thing you want to remember is making a mess and one of your colleague driving you home because you got too carried away with all the drinks.
It's a Party. Dress for it. Besides I'm sure there are a lot of promotions and deals that are going on that would help you dress according to color themes and costumes. Do find out if there is any dress code involved so you won't be the odd man out. But take note not too over dress as well. In most weekend club parties, women can usually dress half naked but in office Christmas parties you can still be sparkly and dressed well without the daring party clothes on. Don't wear something too formal unless the theme is a red-carpet dinner or awards nights which some companies schedule within the Holiday Season.
Everyone in the office is invited in the occasion. Don't discuss about work-related topics. Breathe some party air and forget about your unfinished assignments or your team projects. Keep casual talks unless they ask something about a job. It's time to be yourself without trying to impress anyone. Try small talks and let others engage in the conversation.
Join in the competitions and games, the goal is to enjoy and not to just win. Don't isolate yourself and try to socialize. Party organizers prepared engaging activities where everyone can participate. If you have a big circle whom you always socialize with, break it and interact with ones you don't usually talk to. It will be a good opportunity to get to know more about the people you ride the elevator with or walk pass by the corridors.
Interact but this is not a good time to flirt with your office crush. Don't assume that he or she is actually giving any sort of signals at any point. Don't just approach and start flirting. Try to introduce and start a well mannered conversation. You will never know if someone is just trying to be nice, or they really like you. And who knows you might receive a humiliation piece if you go over boundaries.
Leave your kids at home unless it's a family oriented office Christmas party. We don't want kids to be running around adults who have influence of alcohol or conversations that are not "kids friendly". Get a baby sitter and enjoy a few hours of the night.
Don't be late! Don't delay the fun.
Wear your dancing shoes on and a bright sparkling smile!
