The Twelve Days of Christmas cover the days from 25 December to 5 January.
It’s a festive time of year, though if we’re not careful, these days can become overly commercialized, over-scheduled and super stressful.
We are well served to remember Sir Winston Churchill’s perspective that “Christmas is a season not only of rejoicing but of reflection.”
Every December, I distribute to the leaders of my three Vistage groups a version of a document first developed many Christmases ago by fellow Vistage Chair John Younker. I’ve tweaked the document to help leaders reflect on the past year and think about what they want to accomplish in the year ahead.

The worksheet is loaded with dozens of practical, probing questions and here are six of them:
Christmas parties at the office can be a real hassle to plan. Starting from hunting for Bristol Christmas Party venues (or any other place where you want to organize the party) to arranging food, beverages, decorations, and a few games, there will be a lot of work before the fun begins. However, it’s Christmas, so it will be worth it. To be honest, arranging Christmas office parties can be fun. Those given the responsibility can highlight their creative skills by arranging the party in a unique way. For instance, one can decorate the party venue with neon signs like “Save water Drink Champagne”, or “Please Don’t Kill My Vibe” (those interested in purchasing these products can check out Neon Mama and its likes). Since it’s Christmas, they can play with all sorts of lights and lamps. Decoration with light certainly brightens up the entire space. It tends to give one of the best feels during a festival, all the more when it is Christmas. Along with lights, the walls can be decorated with Christmas tree decal wallpaper as well, in order to achieve the complete Christmas vibe. It certainly depends on the creativity of the party planner, and how he wants to bring his imagination into play. Besides this, the person can also opt for unique gift wrapping options (perhaps he can use custom-printed gift wraps). Multiplayer games could also be arranged by the concerned person, which could be an engaging addition to office Christmas celebrations, which can be either physical or online games. Since online casino (equivalent to oxi.casino/fi/) could be one of the popular indoor group activities, perhaps it can be played during the party as well.
For work-related Christmas fun, here are six questions I posed five years ago from some of my favorite Christmas films.
