Vintage Photos of the Work Christmas Party

categories: Vintage Christmas, vintage images

This Friday I have my work Christmas party, it’s a small affair with only about 30 of us celebrating the season over dinner, some raffle prizes and open bar (sweet!). It’s fun but not a crazy party by any means as we are about 99% all men where I work, so no dance floor, dj etc. I’m okay with that as I have to do all the hard work and plan the event so quieter/simpler the better 🙂

I thought it would be fun while I was getting ready for this Friday to peruse parties gone by and see what kind of fun they might have had around the punch bowl (ahhh got to love a good old punch bowl).

Vintage Work Christmas Party Photos 1940s & 1950s (Plus one 1920s)

1950s photo: This is my favorite picture because it reminds me of myself at our work party. As I stated above I’m the organizer of this affair and I work with mostly men so this could be the 1950s Liz 🙂

I wish we had a dance like this. My old job we held dj’d dance parties but never this elegant. 1950s vintage Christmas party photo.

Years ago at a work party I do recall after a few cocktails things getting super hilarious (ties on heads kind of hilarious) but never this fun! These ladies are amazing!

Late 1940s vintage photo: This does not seem to be a work party but I loved the picture anyways because it has so many awesome things to look at.

1. The decor. 2. The hairstyles on the woman..awesome 3. The nothing but Tinsel Christmas Tree (love!). 4. The very stylish ties on the men.

Movember-A Collection of Vintage Mustache Images

It’s November which means it’s Movember, a global campaign that encourages men to grow Mustaches in November to support the fight against prostate and testicular cancer. I support this campaign every year (among other ones as well) and thought it would be fun for my blog to do a “Vintage” edition of moustaches and help out the cause this way 🙂
