I used to organise the Company's Christmas do, for about 150 people.
Towards the end of December, we had an open day in the office, with loads of booze, for staff and some invited clients.
The office do was held in mid-January, when everyone had recovered from the round of parties, overeating & drinking, cooking for the family. It was looked forward to, as a bright spot in the post Christmas period.
And furthermore, I could get a good deal at a venue, with a proper menu and good service!
Give it a try - you'll be popular!

I've never worked anywhere where there's been a staff Christmas party.
When I was in teaching, our Staff Association (which I was chairman of) arranged an annual dinner but it was always held in the restaurant just across the road from my local pub (so it didn't really feel like 'going out' to me!). It was also over-priced for what it was ('cos we had to pay) so I always backed out of it.
Since then I've been self-employed, unemployed or working for the railways (where the station had to be staffed 24 hours per day, so we couldn't all meet up together, and where we had random urine tests taken at work, so we couldn't afford to be hung over).
The only exception was a couple of years ago when the car dealership I worked for (on a casual basis) invited me to their departmental dinner and to the company's disco party . I accepted the free dinner but declined to go to the party as
(a) I felt I was probably too old ; and
(b) nobody else from our department was going, so I wouldn't have known anyone there.
But I'm not a 'party animal' anyway. I generally detest them. (Yes, I'm a really boring old fart!)
