It will be our Christmas Dinner this evening and was surprised to hear that there will be a tower of treats. This is my third Christmas with the company and I remember receiving a hamper sent to home as we were exiting CoVid and an Amazon voucher last year.

This is usually reserved for the employees based in the UK but I was fortunate enough to be in town to collect it. It was a logistical challenge to bring it home to Paris but I manage to deconstruct it to fit my bag. The glitter also rubs off you so it seems like I have been partying with fairies.

I am also thankful that my organisation does this as I am aware that the previous company I worked for no longer has a Christmas party. It was also nice to be in a growing industry as you can see your team members multiplying and the organisation doubling in size year on year.
