Our Office boycotted the "Holiday" Party, we sent a letter saying we wouldn't attend until it was called a Christmas party.

Ours is advertised both by our company and the hotel we are going to as Christmas Party cannot say I have ever seen them advertised as anything else in Britain.

It seems to me to be the odd incident here and there that the press have great pleasure in blowing up out of all proportion.

The current one is about banning decorations in offices. I suspect that there may well be a few companies that have done it for PC reasons but many like my company have a policy that they do not like anything on the walls or desks. Our MD saw this concept in Italy of minimalistic design and ultra modern white blank wall etc thought it wonderful and to an extend has adopted it with English flavour at work. I hate it I love pictures and maps etc on the wall and a clock even that was banned. We fought and won over maps though saying in sales and shipping we needed them.
