Door 16 of our #TRN Advent Calendar and we're taking a look at 4 Stereotypes that you're likely to see around the office this Christmas.
The Christmas Crazy!
- ‘All I want for Christmas’ has been playing since 1st October
- Leaves a trail of glitter wherever they have been
- 26 different Christmas jumpers and has been wearing them since mid-November
- Cannot see their desk for tinsel
- First to volunteer to put the office decorations up, wants to go crazy, but kept in check by Christmas Mum
- Butts into any and every conversation that they think Christmas has been mentioned ‘Did you say Christmas?!’
- Once one comes out, more will emerge
Scrooge
- Dresses mostly in black
- Hates Christmas songs
- Tries to avoid the ‘Christmas Crazy’ at all costs
- Works right through Christmas
- Comes to the Christmas party for the booze, not the music
- Severely ‘allergic’ to anything jolly
Christmas Mum
- The organiser of secret Santa
- Bakes and feeds mince pies to everyone
- Advent calendars bought as soon as they arrived in the shops
- Christmas cards to everyone
- Presents for everyone
- Likes Christmas socks- more subtle than a jumper but just as important
‘On the Fence’ Christmas
- Will join in with festivities, if forced
- Gets regrettably drunk at the Christmas party
- Enjoys receiving their secret Santa but gives chocolates/booze for theirs
- Hums along to Christmas songs but denies knowledge of the words
- Does enjoy the odd mince pie
- Classes their red jumper as a ‘Christmas jumper’
