Title: Need suggestions! Work Holiday Festivities
Post by: yowaffle on Sat, 24 October 2015, 17:50:05

I recently got a job and as tradition new employees plan a week of Christmas holiday festivities leading up to a xmas party. I was hoping y'all had some ideas for activities that I could suggest to the other new employees.

An example of one of the activities they did last year was a christmas themed door decoration contest. Any suggestions are helpful! Thanks in advance :D

If you wanted to stay more traditional you could do a secret santa?

Have everyone make a small craft. Use glitter or something messy to make people laugh. We do this every year and it is always a hit. Just make it simple.

Honestly, the best office party I ever attended involved alcohol and a huge D&D game. A lot of people had never played before, myself included, and we had a really great DM who kept if lively but simple and let us bend the rules a little in the name of fun. My character got laid, so now I can say I got laid at an office party.
