Santa and the 80’s

The holiday spirit has set in at work. Our workstations now sport a mini Christmas tree, the reception and meeting rooms are alight. Last Friday the major action was around the office year-end party and Secret Santa.

I was given a beautiful potted bamboo shoot plant and I had no idea all through the weekend who my Secret Santa was. Warming up to surprises as well, it seems 🙂


The evening get together was nothing like last year’s party.There were too many new faces. So many changed quotients.

But there were traces of old friendships, familiar songs and some really fashionable dance moves. Like every year’s themed office bash, it was time to bring on the 80s! Men sported big, rainbow coloured Afro hair and ridiculous ‘beer-mug’ glasses; Women oozed bold make-up, big accessories, kooky hairstyles, leggings, heels and animal prints!

This year, I plan on a Christmas tree, stockings, plum cake, an abundant Christmas lunch – the works! Things are way too cold in my life – will let nothing dampen the holiday spirit, at least.
