Just a reminder of the three big Fridays in December this year are 5th, 12th and 19th.

The big three December Fridays are traditionally the most sort after for Christmas parties.

Most companies reserve the Friday Christmas party for client events.  Interestingly however, Friday is not the most popular day for staff Christmas parties.

It may be that HR does want the party getting out of hand, so schedule the staff Christmas event on a Wednesday or Thursday.  Or it may be that senior management want to keep Friday free to attend other corporate Christmas parties as guests.

Either way, keep your diary handy when scheduling a Christmas party.  As a caterer, we do.
