1 IT’S THE WORK CHRISTMAS PARTY. YOU ARE…
★ Organising the whole bash – you’ve ordered bubbly and laid on a buffet.
✦ Egging on your colleagues to down tools at 2pm to start the party early.
❆ Planning on making a French exit after the canapés have come out.
✘ Standing with an empty glass, waiting for a top-up.
2 IT’S A WEEK UNTIL THE BIG DAY. YOU ARE…
✦ Frantically trying to track down a turkey that’s big enough for the 16 people you invited for Christmas.
★ Getting ahead by making and freezing some dishes. You want to have time to chat with guests on the day.
