Episode 9: How to Party, Holiday Edition - a podcast by Elli Rader

Josh & Elli have a chat with their friend Lisa Mason about how to party during company holiday party season. Ironically the three of them seem like they'd be more comfortable in a Lego party, a LAN party, or perhaps knitting.

Things employees seem to NOT like in a work holiday party:

* being tricked into working the party
* when leadership gets out of control wasted and makes inappropriate remarks to staff
* not having enough time to chat
* they definitely do NOT like Santa costumes
* not crazy about potlucks in the office as the only party

Things they DO like:

* being out of the office
* getting a little - not too much - fancy
* not having forced fun
* not talking about work too much
really, most people seem to appreciate just a classy get together where they can socialize for a little while with the folks they work with.
