Cocktails at 6:00, dinner a 6:30 followed by a short program where some door prizes are given out (provided by the social committee and their limited funds), home by 8:00. Meh, not sure I'm going this year.
My wife's is sorta the same. Less program, more chatting. Its good to get together with some of her coworkers husbands and bs. At least we don't get home until 9:00 or 9:30 from that party.
I must say, I'd rather go to those parties than some of the previous parties from previous work places where it seems it is just a competition to who can make a bigger fool out of themselves, and/or lose their jobs and/or ruin their relationships.
I enjoy the company of people I work with but it is a rather stuffy atmosphere at the Christmas party, at least at my wife's party everybody is loose and chatty and having a great time without the excessive drinking and making fools out of themselves.
