Be selective
There are numerous office parties, Christmas gatherings and pre-holiday shindigs to go to. Often too many to choose from, so make sure that you are selective and go to the ones that you really care about. Don’t see it as an obligation, but a nice break and opportunity to speak to people outside of the normal settings.
Don’t lose track of the time
If you still have a lot to do the next day, don’t stay till the end of the party. Shake hands, make conversations, enjoy yourself, have a drink or two and keep an eye on the time. You’ll be thankful tomorrow.
Be jolly
