I think I'd stay home sick that day!

We have two Christmas deals at work. One is a potluck where _everyone_
brings something, even if it's just ice or pop, etc. The company supplies
all the meats (usually hot roast beef and ham), and plates, flatware, etc.
The other is a dinner dance. The employee only pays for spouse, partner,
etc. It's a big event at one of our hotel ballrooms.
