Ensemble message:  Last Friday, the HR department had their annual holiday party.  We had an afternoon get-together at a local pub, which was pretty much schmoozing, eating fried appetizers, and having the Day Job buy me a couple rounds.  Very laid back, so I felt no pressure to dress up.
I did want to be somewhat festive, so I donned my black blazer and a sparkly scarf.  Just enough to show everyone that I do care about the holidays, but not overboard with holiday sweaters.  Indeed there were several folks with full-on festive sweaters... I can't say that any fell in the "ugly Christmas sweater" category, but it was definitely a bit over the top for me.  Either way, it was nice that everyone showed their holiday spirit and escaped the office a few hours early, despite it being a busy time of year for us.
How did your office celebrate the holidays this year?!?
