Ugly Christmas Sweater
Anyone who wants to can come wearing the flashiest or funniest ugly Christmas sweater. There’s a small prize for the best sweater.
Secret Santa
Just bring a wrapped Secret Santa gift worth about €5 (feel free to include a personalized Christmas note). The gifts will be placed under the Christmas tree. At the end of the party, everyone who brought a gift may pick out another Secret Santa gift to take home.
Who Am I—or Who Are You?
Each guest will receive a slip of paper with a clue or fun fact about a colleague from the department. The goal throughout the evening is to figure out who it is (prepared by the organizing team and group leaders).
