HR Holiday Bash!

3. Decorations that magically become a knot puzzle the moment you unpack them
7. Office gathering with snacks and a gift exchange
10. Red-suited manager who shows up once a year, inspects everyone, and leaves before anyone can ask questions
11. Slippery layer on sidewalks that makes everyone reconsider walking
12. Morning layer you scrape off your car windows
13. Hand coverings that always seem to have a disappearing partner
15. “Working from home” taken way too literally — booby traps included
16. Desk item secretly kept nearby for emergency warmth

1. Heavy winter weather that shuts down roads
2. White frozen flakes that fall from the sky
4. A four legged employee who shows up to the holiday party only for snacks, disappears before cleanup, and somehow still gets a bonus.
5. Night celebrating the start of a new year
6. Warm beverage that fuels small talk and meeting survival
8. Activity on ice
9. Annual goal people promise but usually forget by February
14. Tiny overworked, underpaid team who somehow makes all deadlines magically happen
