I am the newly minted chair of my office's Holiday Party Planning Committee. I was crowned last week, thrust into this all-important role that could build coworker morale to its very peak or dash it to tiny smithereens. The weight of what lies before me hangs on my shoulders like a mass of tangled holiday lights. The fates have spoken, and I will answer the jingly call of my duty or die trying! By my troth, this two-to-two-and-a-half-hour event will be my legacy.
Not be to be dramatic or anything.
Upon receiving my assignment my head immediately filled with a jumble of awesome and best-ever ideas. And then I learned my budget, and I had to scale back to pretty cool and definitely-not-awful ideas. The best so far?
Cookie Pictionary.
The idea was conceived as a part of a non-athletic holiday obstacle course/relay. There would be a bucket full of holiday-themed words/phrases, like "reindeer" or "seasonal affective disorder." The contestant will pull one from the bucket and decorate a cookie to convey this word/phrase. As soon as a teammate of the contestant has guessed the word/phrase correctly, the contestant would consume the cookie and then have to sing a song whilst plagued by cookie dry mouth.
What other definitely-not-awful ideas do you have to make this the best Office Holiday Party known to man or beast?

AMAZING!!!
ReplyDeleteHave a quick game of pub trivia. All questions holiday based. Keeps people occupied and gives some time to talk between questions. (On a side note, if you've never done pub trivia, you need to. ASAP.)
ReplyDeleteGet them drunk off Kahlua brownies.
ReplyDeleteOn another note, be sure to have plenty of milk at said party. :)
