‘I don’t drink, and one year I was pressured into staying longer even though I’d driven and was only going to stay for a short amount of time. I also don’t like wine, but for some reason the wine on the table tasted nice and I had at least a whole bottle of it before dinner.
Cue me not having full control of my body, needing two of my older female colleagues to escort me into my house with my bf and two male housemates at the time investigating while in their pants. I projectile vomited up the side of the bath and I’m pretty sure I had alcohol poisoning as I couldn’t lift my head off my pillow for more than 24 hours afterwards. Never again.’

‘There are to many stories to tell but my hubby work has banned Christmas parties because people got out of control, affairs happened, bike accidents (Holland) , absolutely mess of drunk people. We never attended but honesty as a person who loves gossip the day after was the highlight of the week when the texts would come in, haha.’

‘My husband managed a guy who got really drunk at the Christmas party. He groped a female colleague, got into a fight with a waiter and then went AWOL from work for a week, not answering any calls.
My husband assumed he had quit so was very surprised when he walked in a week later like nothing had happened. He was fired on the spot. Same guy contacted my husband six months later asking for a reference!’

‘We had a newbie one year who was an older lady, and a devout Christian – she did too many shots and was grinding away on one of management after we ended up at a club. It was like watching a car crash, we could not look away as she wiggled up and down his leg in a Nativity jumper.’

‘One of the younger staff members got really drunk super early in the night. Her song came on and she went dancing through the crowd, whipping up support and getting everyone’s attention, as she headed to the empty dance floor (it was a one of those retro dance floors). But she tripped just as she got onto it and fell her full length, Superman like. She wasn’t wearing any underwear and she flashed everyone. She was referred to as the fanny flasher after that.’

‘Not mine, but my dad had to fire someone the morning after his Christmas do – they’d gone to a pretty swanky restaurant in Chester, and this bloke decided to rugby tackle a 20 foot Christmas tree.’
