Do you go to your work's Holiday party? Do you bring a plus one? If you go, do you go because you WANT to or because you feel OBLIGATED to go?
We have a few different company functions for Christmas; a formal dinner-dance put on by corporate (attendance at least for management is very strongly "suggested"), a fun-day (this year it's bowling/mini-golf) with food, booze and gifts and an office potluck. I attend all of them with DH as my escort for the fancy thing. The other two are during the work day so there's really no way not to go unless you take the day off.Do you go to your work's Holiday party? Do you bring a plus one?

It doesn't bother me that they call it a Holiday party or Christmas Party or December Celebration. It all means a evening of awkward conversation and free food. Unfortunately while wine (not sure about beer this year, due to location) is available it is a cash bar, not paid for.Not that I going to go anyway, but I even get madder when they call it a Holiday Party instead of a Christmas Party. I get not everyone a Christian but get over yourself. If they had a great party for Buddha, I would go and not even complain
I'm "expected" to go to the corporate-wide holiday party,vacation/PTO day if you choose not at attend.
