We don’t really have an official Christmas works do so we miss out on the fallout of such events!

    Yank here. My (vet tech) wife’s boss throws a big party every year, with catered food, games, and prizes. We left one year with nearly $1k in gift certificates.

    Several years back, pre-covid is all I can remember for sure, we were all a few drinks in and playing games.

    One woman sitting at my table had a few more drinks than the rest.

    The game was, you’re passed a ‘gift’ wrapped several times. You take off as much as you can during your turn, hoping to get the final layer off on your turn.

    But this drunk lady just heard “When you are passed the present, take off a layer.”

    Yup. She stood up and started stripping off her clothes. We stopped her before it got bad.

      Oh damn! Did she remember what happened? What was it like the next time you saw her?

      That game is called “pass the parcel” by the way!

        We stopped her before anything was taken off. If I remember right she skipped the next party and has since retired. No idea if she’d gone to the party two years after as I did not.
