You can stop glaring at your snooze button, drawing frowny faces on your paperwork, and seriously contemplating lashing Gary in accounts to his chair with tinsel to stop him stealing lunches from the fridge. Let’s face it, Gary’s eaten a year’s worth of sandwiches, a bit of well-utilised Christmas cheer won’t stop him.

The good news, though, is that the work year is very nearly over, leaving you two glorious weeks free of paperwork, commuting, and computer screen headaches. As one of the top corporate function venues Brisbane has to offer, those end-of-year celebrations can go in plenty of directions at The Fox Hotel.

Oh, and we’ll make sure there’s a drink in your hand if Gary attempts some social chatter.

Ways to end the work year at The Fox Hotel:

1. Secret Santa

You’ve gotta love an office tradition that makes you realise you’ve worked with people all year and still know next to nothing about them. Cross your fingers, sit back with a mojito on Dandy’s Rooftop, and pray that Karen was actually the one you were talking with about Game of Thrones last June.

Grab some snapshots of the team with a few festive photo props and order some cocktails to celebrate that your next awkward attempt at Secret Santa is now 365 days away.

2. A much-needed meal

It’s always nice being able to eat without worrying that other office workers can hear you chewing over their typing. Make up for a year of eating toast in the car and sandwiches at your desk with a proper team meal at Fish Lane Bistro.

3. Night-long drinks

Trust us, it takes a pretty stiff drink to recover from clearing out a year’s worth of emails. Set up a table with the team in the Long Bar and throw back a few whiskeys. And by a few, we don’t mean enough to have you blubbering about missing out on the lead role in your high school musical. You might not have to see your boss for two weeks, but if you burst into tears over a lost career in theatre, it’s safe to say he’ll probably remember.
