The room is full

Friends and colleagues

Joining the holiday spirit

Talk about nothing

Laugh about anything

Spectacular food

Traditional

and full of taste

Wine’s pouring out words

from all of us

even the most quiet

And the alphas

become specialists

in every subject

The prude finds

her inner Madonna

The secretary finds

her boss

the workaholic finds

a soulmate

and discuss next years

strategies

the alcoholic forgets

this night strategy

The room is full

Of party people

And the other ones

The ones that wish

they could leave know

And the ones that

are afraid to miss out

on the fun

on the gossip

on the free coctails

Christmas Party

The joy and struggle

once a year

Happy Christmas
