Last night we met from work and had a lovely evening celebrating the season with our "Christmas meal" at a local Italian restaurant - there are only four of us however our ex-colleague came along too to catch up and share the occasion and it was a lovely surprise to have her join us not least because I miss her company at work SEW much!! being five of us we were seated at a nice big round table which gave us a great feeling of togetherness!
A thoroughly enjoyable evening with excellent company and super food we enjoyed our Christmas get together very much!
We find now that smaller gatherings are more successful than large "company" do's - in fact they don't seem to "do" them like "they used to" - my husband works similarly to me in terms of I am a "concession" and he works in a vaguely similar way not quite FOR a company but within it and thus we're both duly invited to company do's but the last couple of years he and his team have gone out for an "office based" smaller Christmas lunch to celebrate the occasion.
Our occasions of celebration are dwindling too! Up until now we've met up pre-Christmas for a family get together however interest has gradually waned and this year we've decided that instead we'll go out the four of us on Boxing Day for a small family celebration and are keeping our options open at this late stage between our regular haunt OR a newly refurbished local pub that might make a change but hasn't, yet, quite got its atmosphere going!
I hope that all my readers are enjoying similar celebrations with family and/or colleagues too! those that celebrate, that is. Seasons Greetings! everyone!
