RE: Christmas Party
I'm happy to inform you that the office Christmas Party will take place
on December 23, starting at noon in the private function room at the
Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks! We'll have a
small band playing traditional carols...feel free to sing along. And don't be surprised if the Chief shows up dressed as Santa Claus!
A Christmas tree will be lit at 1:00pm. Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however, no gift should be over €10 to make the giving of gifts easy for everyone's pockets. This gathering is only for
Chester House! The Chief will make a special announcement at that time!
Merry Christmas to you and your family.
Patty

RE: Holiday Party
In no way was yesterday's memo intended to exclude our Jewish employees.
We recognise that hanukah is an important holiday, which often coincides with Christmas. However, from now on we're calling it our "Holiday
Party." The same policy applies to any other employees who are not
Christians or those still celebrating Reconciliation Day. There will be
no Christmas tree present. No Christmas carols sung. We will have other
types of music for your enjoyment.
Happy now?
Happy Holidays to you and your family..

RE: Holiday Party
Regarding the note I received from a member of Alcoholics Anonymous
requesting a non-drinking table. You didn't sign your name. I'm happy to
accommodate this request, but if I put a sign on a table that reads, "AA
Only"; you wouldn't be anonymous anymore. How am I supposed to handle this? Somebody?
Forget about the gifts exchange, no gifts exchange are allowed since the union members feel that €10 is too much money and executives believe €10 is a little chintzy. NO GIFTS EXCHANGE WILL BE ALLOWED.

RE: Holiday Party
What a diverse group we are! I had no idea about the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, which forbids eating and drinking during daylight hours. There goes the party! Seriously, we can appreciate how a luncheon at this time of year does not accommodate our Muslim employees' beliefs. Perhaps the Grill House can hold off on serving your meal until the end of the party - or else package everything for you to take it home in little foil doggy baggy. Will that work?
Meanwhile, I've arranged for members of Weight Watchers to sit farthest
from the dessert buffet and pregnant women will get the table closest to
the restrooms. Gays are allowed to sit with each other. Lesbians do not
have to sit with Gay men, each will have their own table. Yes, there will
be flower arrangement for the Gay men's table. To the person asking
permission to cross dress, yes, this is allowed.
We will have booster seats for short people. Low-fat food will be
available for those on a diet. We cannot control the salt used in the
food we suggest for those people with high blood pressure to taste first.
There will be fresh fruits as dessert for Diabetics, the restaurant
cannot supply "No Sugar" desserts. Sorry!
Did I miss anything?!?!?

RE: The F****** Holiday Party
Vegetarian pr**ks - I've had it with you people!!! We're going to keep
this party at the Grill House whether you like it or not, so you can sit
quietly at the table furthest from the "grill of death," as you so
quaintly put it, and you'll get your ******* salad bar, including organic
tomatoes.
But you know, tomatoes have feelings, too. They scream when you slice
them. I've heard them scream. I'm hearing them scream right NOW! I hope you all have a rotten holiday! Drive drunk and die,
The B**** from H***!!!!!!!!

I'm sure I speak for all of us in wishing Patty Lewis a speedy recovery
and I'll continue to forward your cards to her. In the meantime,
management has decided to cancel our Holiday Party and give everyone the afternoon of the 23rd off with full pay.
Happy Holidays!
