Hi everyone,

I'm curious to hear what we're all planning for our corporate Christmas Parties this year!!

My company is only small (we're budgeting for 20 people). We managed to book a lunch, tour and clay shooting at a local winery - all under our budget!! It's going to be a great afternoon.

Please share what your company is doing this year... I'd love to know. I need ideas for NEXT year!

Hi Kateena,

It's been quite a while since I've heard "Christmas Parties". We had to make the change to "Holiday Party" so no one is offended and feels comfortable to attend.

You've been able to put a nice event together and really sounds like a fun time for all.

We are a small office. We are talking about doing a Secret Santa (not sure that word we will substitute there) and then a get together at a local restaurant. Also has been some talk about a Pot Luck Luncheon to keep down the cost. This is my first holiday being with a non-profit - WHAT A BIG DIFFERENCE!! Spending most of my career in the corporate world - the budget was much higher.

I too would like to hear about what others are doing, maybe I can get some ideas to make this one better!!

Kateena - For such a small group try something like a bowling tournament party or if you have it in your area day-glo golf tournament. We also looked into what they call Laser Tag -- it is great fun and very easy, cheap and simple for a group of that size.

We did Laser Tag (2 games) with pizza, salad and drinks. Had prizes for the top team and the top shooter --- it was a blast and everyone from 65 to 21 had a ball.
