In a normal year, we have two department-wide events each year: a Christmas
lunch and a pre-summer break lunch in late June. We are around 45 employees
plus a few externals, so a reasonably big group. Sadly, this is not a normal
year, and no more than 6 people from different households can share a meal in a
restaurant. So no Christmas lunch this year. But our intrepid Stephanie refused
to surrender to the virus, and she organised a party in the office, with
everyone participating online, but still with a quiz, drinks, and presents from
Secret Santa, and even group singing of Jingle Bells.
Here is Stephanie, one of my favourite people:

I poured myself a glass of something sweet and participated in the online
festivities, although once in a while I left my office to take some photos of
those who were in the office (a fair proportion of the participants were
working from home, and we even had a participant from The Hague, a colleague
seconded to Europol):

But then two elves came by with some Glühwein! Our trainees had taken the
initiative to spread a bit of joy around the floor:

Hopefully by late June we will all have been vaccinated and can have a proper
summer kick-off lunch.
Cheers,
