The Ho Ho Ho Holiday Show

Tim McClure & Chris DeSantis
About this episode

In this year’s special holiday episode, Mary and Chris help listeners navigate the Ho Ho Horrors of office life during the holidays.

Should you attend the office holiday party? Should you bring an unwilling spouse with you? Should you buy your boss a gift? If so, how much should you spend?

In this episode we hear from:

Scrooged in Seattle has a husband who is grumbling about attending her law firm’s holiday party. Should she make him suck it up and go anyway? Or will his grumpy attitude be more of a liability? 

Confounded by Christmas in Connecticut needs help with the etiquette of holiday gift giving at the office. Should they buy their boss a gift? If so, what is appropriate and how much should they spend?

To Give or Not to Give in Glendale seeks advice on appropriate corporate gifts. Are fruit baskets too old school?
