			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://froth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gift_giving_office.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-244" title="gift_giving_office" src="http://froth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/gift_giving_office-300x199.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="199" /></a>Since I&#8217;ve encountered so many random indescribable things that have occurred in the wake of the holiday season, I thought I&#8217;d give a short list of things that are definitely not acceptable, but if you don&#8217;t really need your job&#8230;go for it!</p>
<p>1.  Walking around with mistletoe and offering it to your opposite-sex colleagues.  This is a great idea if you want to get smacked or kicked in the nards..or slapped with a sexual harassment charge.</p>
<p>2.  Dressing up like the baby Jesus in the office.  Creative, yes, but I can&#8217;t imagine a way this can be executed without ill effects on your career prospects.  You can&#8217;t claim religious discrimination when you get canned for wearing a diaper to work and ..well..using said diaper for its intended purposes.  This also applies to lining your office floor with hay to simulate the nativity scene.  It&#8217;s a mess to clean up and you might get &#8220;presents&#8221; left for you from the cleaning staff.</p>
<p>3. Dirty dancing with your subordinates, colleagues, and/or boss at the office/company holiday party.  The office extends to outside functions as well, and this could get very dicey.  Read my lips, do not drink if you can&#8217;t control your inhibitions.  Nevermind, just don&#8217;t drink around work people.  Save yourself the trouble and reserve your drunken foolishness for your family who unfortunately cannot fire your ass.</p>
<p>4.  Bringing lingerie or some other inappropriate item for the grab bag party.  This almost always makes the recipient and everyone else in the room very uncomfortable.  Perhaps a nice full body covering<a href="https://www.getsnuggie.com/"> snuggie</a> or <a href="http://www.theslanket.com/">slanket</a> will do?</p>
<p>5.  Giving naughty Christmas cards.  Sure, there are tons of dirty cards at innocent family box stores like Target and Wal-Mart but it doesn&#8217;t mean that you should give them to a colleague or subordinate.  Oh, and someecards are out.  This <a href="http://froth.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/someecards.jpg">one</a> in particular from Someecards should not be sent to a co-worker or your secret santa person through <a href="http://www.elfster.com/ ">elfster</a>.  Save those gems for your family who will appreciate your biting wit and your lack of concern for decorum and/or decency.</p>
