Once upon a time.... well, about a couple of months ago - a work email came round saying that there would be a Xmas party on the 16th, at our Savoy Place office in London. Since this is one of the top London conference centres, with stunning views over the Thames and catering at the level you'd expect, this was a no-brain decision.
Then there was an email saying there would be a carol concert and mulled wine/mince pie reception before the party - book if you'd like to come. I like my mulled wine, mince pies, and sing-along. I said yes.

Edit: it has been pointed out to me that there is a difference between a carol concert and a carol service. Later emails on this subject refer to a carol service. To me, they're the same thing, so what registered was "carol-based sing-along".

( It got long.... )And there were mince pies, and mulled wine, and the best view over the Thames in London, and excellent food, and so many free drink tokens we ended up giving them away, and Scaletrix and similar games, and it was good. But I can't really go into raptures over one of the best works parties I've ever been to. because that carol concert was so much better.
