Tonight was the annual Christmas party at work. The event took place at a restaurant not far from work (actually it serves as lunch restaurant at day), and they uses locally produced food. They had set a lovely alternative Christmas smörgåsbord, with for example wild boar ham, lamb sausage, different pickled herring, salmon and egg halves with saffron aïoli, everything from producers in the vicinity.
The party was only for our department, so we were about 120 people there. Altogether it works about 1300 people at Ericsson in Linköping. The last couple of years we have had Christmas parties per department, but earlier there used to be one giant Christmas party for everybody. I guess it has something to do with cost awareness.
Yes, always a good experience!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shot of the decorations at the party, and the people enjoying the smorgasbord! We will miss both our company Christmas parties due to being on vacation later this month.
ReplyDeleteThere is a trend here to eat locally produced food as well! That way, everything is fresh, there's less carbon imprint in transporting the food, and we support the local farmers.
glad you had such a great party at work!
