    27 Things That Always Happen In The Office During Christmas

    There's always someone who puts on Christmas songs in November.

    1. There's always one person who is completely obsessed with Christmas and insists on playing Christmas songs even though it's November.

    2. Then there are those people who understand that Christmas songs in November is just fucking madness.

    3. Some really couldn't give a shit either way.

    4. Someone wilI, in turn, complain about the office's "Christmas spirit".

    5. And that person will be swiftly shut down by the Office Scrooge.

    6. But nothing and no one will be able to dampen their spirits.

    7. Against their will, everyone will take part in Secret Santa.

    8. Outfit-planning for the Christmas party will begin.

    9. Because everyone knows the work Christmas party is the perfect time and place to finally make your move on your office crush.

    10. So with your work BFF, a very detailed game plan will be devised.

    11. Everyone will flood the organiser with questions about the Christmas party.

    12. Which will prompt management to send "friendly" reminders about conduct.

    13. Before the party has even begun, someone from management who has probably been drinking since 12 will make a scene.

    14. And the office hottie, the one you have been lusting after for months, will leave early.

    15. Someone you've never even noticed before – but has noticed you – will strike up a conversation.

    16. Meanwhile, your work BFF who was supposed to help you with "Operation Shag Colin From Accounts" has drunk two bottles of wine for fear of the tab running out.

    17. And because everyone had the same idea, the whole office is completely shitfaced and screeching from the top of their lungs.

    18. The CEO, fuelled by expensive booze that wasn't on the tab, will hit the dance floor.

    19. Which will be the highlight of the night – until something completely scandalous happens.

    20. And it will be all anyone can talk about for weeks afterwards.

    21. The next day will be the worst working day of the year.

    22. And because you can't remember anything you did, you'll worry about getting fired.

    23. There will be absolutely no work done once the Christmas party is over.

    24. And as the days go on, everyone will start leaving work earlier and earlier.

    25. Except for that one person who makes everyone look bad.

    26. If you're working on Christmas Eve, you'll just spend the day wishing you had taken it off.

    27. Until the boss gives in, realises no one is doing anything, and sends everyone home for the holidays.
