    Me too! I got some silver cufflinks which are quite nice.

    One of the partners excitedly told me to follow him out to the car park as well. There he proudly displayed a pair of antlers that he has affixed to his car

    Must admit, I thought that was going to end up with him either sexually assaulting you or giving you a go on his crack pipe.

    I took the Secret Santa day off. We have a bloke who insists on dressing up as Santa and giving everyone compulsory hugs.

    Needless to say I refused to be sexually assaulted last year.

    I wish they had combined it with Friday's Christmas jumper day so we could have got it out of the way.

    however I do participate in both as it's easier than not to.

    This is the road to the death camps. Pat. One must make a stand.

    I will never own a Christmas jumper.

    People have brought in their own food for a 'buffet' today.
    I won't touch any of it.

    Someone has brought in some sort of rice with Gherkins in it

    I’ve opted out of Secret Santa the last couple of years. It’s bad enough having to waste perfectly good brain cells thinking of presents for people I actually care about without also having to píss about buying for randoms as well.
