It's party party party...or not

Does anyone have a clue whether it's ok to have an office Christmas party, let alone kiss under the mistletoe? Here in the UK, the signals are downright confusing, with some ministers saying it's fine and dandy to go ahead while others then very helpfully point out that they in their departments are NOT going to be boozing and dancing but may do something on Zoom. Oh for goodness sake. Government ministers are so desperately anxious not to put a foot wrong that I'm amazed they have the courage to speak out on anything. Where are the ministers with actual views which they believe in and stick to? It's all U-turns and evasion and confusion. As for kissing under the mistletoe that was always a dodgy event if it involved strangers. A wonderful surprise or a dreadful slippery experience. With Omicron around let's forget the mistletoe but surely a Christmas party with a little bit of jollity might be all right, especially if everyone promises they have been vaccinated at least once and preferably three times. That's it, I've got it. Office Christmas parties should be renamed Booster parties where eveeryone has to provide confirmation that they have had the booster jab and can then walk into the room full of confidence and bonhomie.
