> I'm happy to inform you that the company Christmas Party will take

> Grill House. There will be a cash bar and plenty of drinks!
> We'll have a small band playing traditional carols...please feel free
> to sing along.
>
> And don't be surprised if the Managing Director shows up dressed as
> Santa
> Claus! A Christmas tree will be lit at 1.00p.m.
>
> Exchange of gifts among employees can be done at that time; however,
> no
> gift should be over $10.00 to make the giving of gifts easy for
> everyone's
> pockets.
>
> This gathering is only for employees! The Managing Director will make
> a
> special announcement at the Party.
> Merry
> Christmas to you and your Family.
