Does your job make the holidays “fun”?

This is my first Christmas at this current job (it has been ALMOST 9 months which feels unbelieveable) and I have been liking it. No mandated overtime (barring a true emergency), better pay, more vacation time, better management and...they get really into Christmas.
A big tree gets put up in our center. We are playing secret Santa (those who want to participate), having a tree ornament-creating contest, a huge party and potluck on the Tuesday prior to Christmas.
I guess they take this very seriously. I did sign up for secret Santa but am debating on the ornament contest. The goal is to create something “work related” and clever. But I am not so creative.
Does your work do fun things like this?

@maezee Seems likes Christmas will never come when it's up that long.

I no longer have a job. Where I worked, they always dolled the building up, around the Christmas season. This made our work environment more comfortable and fun.

Well, my previous workplace had all sorts of fun things. And I think that was necessary to keep the human resource in good vibes since many of us work many hours to meet deadlines and quotas. We all could use some recreation and relaxation.
I think it's good for any workplace to treat their employees to some fun.

My business is not so funny, it's a lot of hours for a computer exhausting than it is entertaining.

When I worked in the public, the companies I worked for would cater in a lunch for us. No trees, decorations or secret santa's. It's nice that some companies are more into the spirit of the season. Have a blessed day
