Every year the office manager and a few select colleagues gather around to discuss their upcoming corporate Christmas party. They share Christmas party ideas, talk about dates, times and potential Christmas party venues and get very excited about the upcoming event.

If you’re like most businesses, your corporate Christmas party is likely to be small and very insular, in most cases you find yourself at a local restaurant or a swanky bar in London.

This usually costs a great deal of money and therefore the company director is usually far less enthusiastic about the upcoming corporate Christmas party in London when compared to her staff members.

Christmas is a time for sharing
