I got so drunk at the office party I snogged a gatecrasher on the dancefloor… that’s the fun of Xmas, says Vanessa Feltz

IT’S a terrible shame Gen Z want to take the magic out of Christmas. From pagan pre Christian times, this time of year has been the gloomiest, the longest, the most wretched. Christmas is designed to be a beacon of self-indulgent feasting. It allows you to behave in your least wise way - spend too much money, drink too much, eat too much, snog somebody unsuitable, photocopy your bum at the office party, all the usual stuff.

Then you've got till Spring when the daffodils come out to regret it. You feel sorry, you start dieting, you have your New Year resolutions. There's no point having resolutions if you haven't done anything wrong. If you are just prudent and restrained and sensible through Christmas, what the hell are you gonna do with the first part of 2025?.

So Gen Z hate boozy office parties? Nearly half of them - 48 per cent - won’t have a single drink over the festive season. I think that’s a terrible thing. I have made some of my most brutal and embarrassing mistakes at office parties. One that comes to mind was the BBC Radio London party many years ago.
Yes, I was floored, yes I was drunk, yes, I copiously got off with a gatecrasher right in the middle of the dance floor. But I stood by it the next day. It’s got to be done, it’s a rite of passage. You feel dreadful, but if you didn't do it you've got nothing to feel terrible about and that's even worse.
