We have a great Christmas party at work. We get to see a lot of the retired boys, good eats, best thing is venders donate lots of things for give aways. They give away a few extra days of vacation too.
Not this year, already canceled. Has anyone else had their party canceled?
Damn Commie virus.

I usually attend all the Christmas meals that the farm oriented businesses I do business with have. Heard they were going be cancelled this year.

Our cattlemen's Christmas party has been canceled. They've screwed up everything with this China flu BS.

No party this year. I sometimes go for the meal part to hang with the guys but skip out on the later free booze fiasco.

David, 2020 is canceled. No kidding. Everything has been canceled. I got to go to one event in February, I think, just before March Madness hit, and everything was canceled. Events I was really looking forward to... but nope. Sorry.

Not this year, already canceled. Has anyone else had their party canceled? I'm sure ours is canceled. We have too many people in high risk groups ... older, cancer survivors, diabetics. It would be very foolish not to skip it for this year. Disappointing for sure, but not as disappointing as going to a funeral service. I'm working towards having our family Christmas events canceled as well. We have a couple of extreme risk people .. I don't want my dad or my aunt dead .. 'cept for those times I'd love to kill them myself.  I don't want some damned virus stealing that opportunity from me. I don't think it's a good idea to go do the black friday sardine imitation nor to be packed in lines at the PO or UPS shipping stuff. I think, rather, this would be a great year to stop, quietly, individually, and reflect on the real meaning of Christmas and step out of the commercialized version. Y' know, celebrate Jesus rather than celebrating Amazon, etc. ... make lemonade from the lemons we've been handed. Tom

I heard about a business that added all the costs of canceled parties, split the number by the number of their FTEs and sent everyone a check.
Careful; I’d take that every year!
They’re breaking down the institutions and traditions that unite us and Corp America is going along out of fear.

Nobody should congregate in person.
When people congregate and speak in that manner, share thoughts, ideas, dissatisfactions, etc, the .gov cannot monitor. All communications must be electronic, and filtered through the NSA.
This is all by design.

Ours was cancelled when CDC came out and said lampshades were a huge vector for spread of the virus.

I said earlier, they took Easter away... No one said a peep not even the churches.. Thanksgiving? All but a wash millions and millions people are falling in lockstep. No traveling stay home eat turkey watch some football. Christmas now this will be the true test for liberal to see if people will truly fall into lockstep. Christmas mass?? Families traditions of meeting up for family Christmas dinners at mom and dads place.. Families traveling to other states for Christmas etc.
Then STFU. The rest of your statement is superflous bullshit with no real bearing on this discussion other than to massage your own ego. Suckin' on my titties like you wanted me.

This is all by design. Exactly. The Coronafarce keeps presenting the ideal situations to create a Great Reset, and Build Back Better. Imagine the coincidence of it all!

We don't usually have a Christmas party. What we do have is a Christmas dinner catered in. Years past we set up tables in the shop area (cleaned first) and we all more or less gather around. The parts department take turns to eat.
This year will probably be like the Thanksgiving lunch this past Thursday. Six feet apart with masks go through the serving line with serving gloves and serve yourself go back to your work area.

Our employer would always take everyone out to eat for Christmas (in lieu of any real bonus...)..... After work. Yeah, I'm gonna drive myself after work to some restaurant in the dark schidthole that is Clarksvegas just to eat with people I see every day, and then drive myself back, wasting hours of MY time.... I've always declined.
I don't know what they'll do for Christmas this year.... Probably something equally spectacular...
