Let\u2019s face it, New Year\u2019s Eve is all about partying and celebrating and being at the office working is well\u2026 not. But if you are stuck at work on this celebratory holiday, make the best of it and celebrate office style:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-7086\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/New_Years_Eve.jpg\" alt=\"New_Years_Eve\" width=\"396\" height=\"591\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/New_Years_Eve.jpg 396w, https:\/\/www.gallerycollection.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/New_Years_Eve-201x300.jpg 201w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 396px) 100vw, 396px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Break out the sparkling cider.\u00a0Personally, I\u2019ll take it straight from the bottle but it does look nice and pretty in a champagne flute, even if you only score the plastic ones.<\/p>\n<p>Have some fun appetizers. New Year\u2019s Eve is all about hors d\u2019oeuvres. Ask your co-workers to make something at home to bring in or if you are really stuck grabbing something at the office, make the best of the tuna salad and crackers from the vending machine, yikes!<\/p>\n<p>Make your own New Year\u2019s Eve falling ball and decorate your desk like Times Square so you can count down like Ryan Seacrest. Here are several ways to do it:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.ehow.com\/info_12196863_make-new-years-eve-falling-ball.html\">http:\/\/www.ehow.com\/info_12196863_make-new-years-eve-falling-ball.html<\/a>\u00a0Bonus: once constructed, you can use the same ball for all those disco parties you\u2019ll have in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Kiss your co-worker! Everyone needs some to kiss someone when the new year rings in, right? On second thought, let\u2019s scratch that. Face time or Skype your spouse or significant other to wish them a Happy New Year and tell them how much you miss him\/her. Of course, if you don\u2019t miss him\/her and would just rather be at work anyway, you may have bigger problems to tackle.<\/p>\n<p>Either way, you\u2019ll have fun however you celebrate but let\u2019s hope the boss appreciates you working on this holiday and gives you a day off soon! Happy New Year!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Celebrating New Year\u2019s Eve at the office may be the biggest oxymoron going.
