We hear you’re on your company’s holiday party planning committee. Yay for you!

What’s that?

OH…you ARE the committee.

Well, even better!

That means you can make this delicious decision without debate and gift your team with the holiday event of their sugarplum dreams.

You have three factors to take into account:

  1. the venue
  2. the food
  3. and most importantly, the fun. Actual fun. (It’s possible for adults to have, we checked.)

When you consider that survey results reveal that one-third of employees are indifferent to office holiday parties and another third don’t like them at all, you are up against a real challenge. But now, you’ve discovered Thought Design.
