How not to embarrass yourself at this year’s holiday parties
Let’s be honest, sh*t’s been weird these past 20 months. Our once-bustling lives have been reduced to staring at ourselves on Zoom calls and wearing mismatched sweatpants on the couch. But a new challenge lies ahead in these last couple weeks of 2021: in-person holiday parties.
But don’t panic! We at One North have put together a handy list to help you survive this holiday season with only minimal cringe. So, dust off your hard pants, grab a bottle of hand sanitizer, and join us.
Tiger King came out in March 2020. Do you know how many years have passed since then? Ok, just one, but it’s felt like a lot more. Maybe watch a new show? We heard Squid Game is good.
Zoom best practice means keeping yourself on mute when you’re not talking. But now, feel free to actually react to things using your mouth. Treat yourself to a nice giggle. Feels good, doesn’t it?

Isn’t technology great? We can communicate with people halfway across the globe and use it as an excuse when we zone out in meetings. If this happens at a party, feel free to gently change the subject by spilling a drink on them or crying.
They can. You are not on mute. There is no mute… Maybe there never was. ?
These days, you’ve likely been all business on top and party on bottom. Alas, this is 1,000% not acceptable once you leave the house. Apparently, there are laws about this sort of thing.
