My first Christmas Party Invitation - and it's only Oct 5th!
Yesterday I received my first Christmas party invitation - but it's only October 5th.
How does this happen? I understand people want to be organised, but really - October 5th? It makes it really hard to use the excuse of having something else on that day. So I said yes. I really do like the person who invited me, and want to celebrate her first year in business, so decided I would go along and pretend that it is really a celebrate the success party, rather than a Christmas party.
I would love to come up with some other name for those things we call a Christmas party. The end of the year is a nice time to get lots of people together to say thanks, to catch up on all their news and get excited about our big plans for the new year.
I object, however, to all this being labelled under the banner of Christmas, and calling it an End of Year Celebration is cumbersome. I shall work on another title, and get back to you.
In the meantime, your suggestions are welcome. What can we re-name the Christmas party?
