    We had a Zoom party with a quiz & it was a bit of a laugh. Voucher for Smyths for anyone who had kids & a food voucher for everyone which should cover 1 takeaway which is grand. Honestly it was nice & easy & better than I expected.

    And what if you don't have kids but still wanted the Smyths voucher? :(

    We used to get the one 4 all voucher until we complained about were you cant spend it , now we get a MasterCard gift card you can use it anywhere,
    petrol stations, supermarkets takeaways etc..., might seem a ungrateful bunch but those one 4 alls are a pain.

    FromMe2You can be used at Tesco... very handy

    We were all just given an extra day's annual leave in lieu of the party. And a nice wee voucher too.

    No one is being forced to do it

    Find this mentality hard to understand. It’s one evening annually where you have some food and a few beers with colleagues. It’s easy to gravitate towards the people with whom you naturally connect. It’s also an opportunity to meet and build a rapport with folks, you wouldn’t ordinarily interact with very much.

    They aren’t strangers. Your colleagues are people you spend most time with, outside of family and really close friends. Is it really that much of a chore to show up, put a smile on your face, and have a bit of craic for the evening. Can’t fathom how this is such a trial, except for an extreme misanthrope.

    It's possible to enjoy your job and the people you work with but dislike the company wide Christmas parties. For large companies with 300+ employees, many of the people at the company will be complete strangers. You may have never seen them before and never will again so plastering a fake interest for the night can seem a little pointless.

    The best Christmas parties are usually the small team or department ones.
