I wish we had the type that you see on tv and with an open bar! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-387826 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:43:17 +0000 DillonLion 387826@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope!

You have to RSVP in advance and if you are a no show, the cost of your meal is deducted frm your check. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-387818 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:41:08 +0000 prettylizy 387818@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep :) DH and I work for the same company and our two offices get together for Christmas every year. I was just on the phone with my boss today asking about the party date bc DH wans't sure of the day. I'm pretty sure all the Mat leave mama's are going to be there too (there are 3 of us) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-387805 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:39:16 +0000 MaisyMay 387805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetchic: Last year Hubs' was employees only, but this year I'll get around that since I work at the same company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-387797 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 21:37:57 +0000 ladyfingers 387797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, ours is Dec. 21.

DH's has one and we are going to go. Pretty fancy. Not looking forward to buying a nice maternity dress that I will probably wear once. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-387053 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:27:41 +0000 dagret 387053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is kind of a weekend in manhattan, so hellz yes. </p> <p>Not sure what DH's company party is bc this is his first yr with the company. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-387050 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:27:11 +0000 Meridian 387050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH's company's holiday party is NO significant others! And this is one of the largest law firms in Chicago, yeesh!</p> <p>When I used to work for Hyatt, we had awesome holiday parties with SO.MUCH.FOOD... miss that! </p> <p>As a small biz owner, I'm going to throw a brunch at my home for my team of 4 girls and their significant others. I did that last year and it was awesome! I also took all of them out to a fancy dinner last night (sans SOs) to celebrate the end of our wedding season! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-387008 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:17:44 +0000 banana 387008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's company throws big elaborate holiday parties every year. Like black tie and everything. So we might go to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-387000 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:16:01 +0000 MsMini 387000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My DH's company has a 'family' party in the afternoon, then a grown up party on the same day, in the evening (December 15th). My parents are going to drive up that weekend and babysit Sawyer for us. It will be his first time being babysat (he will be 7 1/2 months old by then, I am such a chicken!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-386985 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:11:50 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 386985@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband's company doesn't have parties. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-386966 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 19:07:16 +0000 MaisyMay 386966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If our work hosts one, then yes, even if I'm already out on maternity leave I'll probably drop by for the party. They are notorious about having it during the day (insert eyeroll!) and at work instead of out somewhere. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-386910 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:54:28 +0000 MrsBrewer 386910@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes mine! It's at this really fancy place downtown, with hotel accommodations! I think there might be free booze! Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-386909 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:54:20 +0000 sslm 386909@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll go to DH's. my work doesn't have one bc I work in the public sector! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-386900 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:52:28 +0000 mango.sprays 386900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll go to DH's in December, they always throw a good party and have great food! I usually need to have a few drinks because I'm the WORST at small talk....but we're TTC so hoping that won't be an option for me this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-386892 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:48:52 +0000 mamabolt 386892@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My work does a casual lunch for employees only. DH's work does a nice dinner but not till January. He makes me go to that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-386891 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:48:25 +0000 Honeybee 386891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We have to go to DH's company party, and I'm totally dreading it. They always have it at this place that has awful food, and then everyone gets drunk and starts kissing each other. It is soooooooooooo awkward; we usually make up an excuse and book it out of there right after dinner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-386878 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:43:25 +0000 MamaMoose 386878@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm due Nov 25th so we definitely won't be going to my company's. My husband works for a small company and they never invite spouses to the holiday party (I secretly think its because the boss doesn't get along with his own wife). I will probably request that my hubs skip his party this year since I'll be home with a very new baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-386869 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:39:13 +0000 WALLAROO 386869@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We might go to DH's holiday party but I'm not sure when it is. My company's holiday party is in January so I'm not sure. Depends on when the twins decide to make their appearance. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/will-you-attend-any-company-holiday-parties-this-year#post-386407 Thu, 08 Nov 2012 18:30:00 +0000 autumnlove 386407@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope we can find sitters because I really want to attend our company holiday parties this year! DH's will be at a coworker's house (maybe we can bring LO) and my company party is a dinner boat cruise!</p> <p>Will you attend any company holiday parties this year? </p>
