Today was our ‘Year End Party’ at work. Now the reason why it is called a ‘Year End’ party and not a ‘Christmas’ part or ‘Holiday’ party is so that we don’t offend anyone. We would hate to offend anyone that does not celebrate ‘Christmas’ for religious or lack there of religion purposes. We also do not call it ‘Holiday’ party for the reason is that it is in December and there are religious holidays in the month.
The décor for the party was green, red, and white. Now some will say that those three colors are ‘Christmas’ colors and can be offended by it….others will say that they are Mexican colors….and would still be offended. They did serve Mexican food…but I’m sure they were not trying to fit the decorations in with the Mexican theme. It seems like you can’t say anything or do anything about holidays. I don’t think ‘Christmas’ still has the same meaning as it would 30 years ago. My thing is that people can’t just be grateful for what they are getting. There always has to be someone to complain about something. The sad thing is that the same people that were complaining about the color of the decorations or about the food that was being served were also in line waiting for the food. They still participated in the raffles and games…yet complained when they did not win a prize. Lesson learned….which is why I am not part of the committee to do work activities.
