    I understand Vogue is opting for a potluck lunch in the office. They'll feast on thin gruel and hot water with sugar substitute.

    Notwithstanding what the Post says, Sheehan isn't really a crisis PR guy - he's more of a media/debate trainer. Also, he's usually only on board for a day or two and then goes away to another client. #christmasiscanceled

    Lo, in these PC times, the problem with canceling Christmas lunch is that you then have to cancel Hanukkah tea and Ramadan happy hour. #christmasiscanceled

    @If_I_Had_a_Poodle: Well, I had a good reason: To cancel Kwanzaa would be to violate kujichagulia* (self-determination, in Swahili), which just seems like a really mean thing to do at Christmastime.

    *No, I totally and completely did not look that up on Wikipedia. #christmasiscanceled

    After how many years of cancellations does it become the former Xmas lunch, the onetime Xmas lunch, the Xmas lunch of a bygone era, the Xmas lunch of ad budgets past, etc? #christmasiscanceled

    Cocktail party? Man, this is why you wanna work in NYC. In DC, all the think tanks that cancel their xmas parties replace them with "Economic Forums." #christmasiscanceled

    I'm sure those who were laid off will appreciate the irony of a hefty salary being paid to a flack who will try to mitigate the image damage done by the layoffs. #christmasiscanceled

    @TheBusinessGuy:

    Yep.

    Here's a thought, for all the CEOs running around hiring consultants to help figure out how to economize during the recession: cut the salaries of your top (most likely overpaid) employees, including yourself, and stop wasting money on consultants... #christmasiscanceled
