Mad Friday for Christmas parties
03/10/2006
 Pub landlords have described the last Friday before Christmas as Mad Friday, when all office parties and once-a-year drinkers descend on their establishments.
This is the day that workers decide to get into the Christmas spirit as weekend and bank holiday combine to give a number of days off in a row, reports Scottish and Universal Newspapers. Mad Friday is the day that employers and employees alike let their hair down, the newspaper group indicates. Londoners preparing for the Christmas celebrations head to the pub straight after work to get themselves into the party mood. One pub in Aberdeen, Scotland, chose Friday December 19th 2005 to open for the first time; the newspaper group describes The Monkey House's opening as a baptism of fire. Additionally, the group indicates that The Monkey House appears confident today, following its "daunting" opening. Christmas Day falls on a Monday this year, meaning Mad Friday starts four days of time off for most businesses.  Click here for more on London's best events and Christmas parties.
