You won't come up with an idea everyone will be happy with. Just go with the majority and let the grinches get on with it.
completely correct. so just find out the budget and choose something.
one thing that worked well for us was the boss agreeing that if we set a 'lunch' for 2.30pm, no one had to go back to the office. The budget paid for lunch, everyone brought a secret santa present that cost no more than £3 (three things from Poundland was a popular way to go) and they went in a big black lucky dip bag. Then anyone who wanted to carry on - on their own budget - went on to a pub followed by a club for those still going. Worked for us.0
