I threw a Christmas party last year, so here's my input:
FOOD: You're gonna want it simple as you'll be run off your feet with party plans. Serve buffet food: Sausage Rolls, Cocktail Sausages, Chips and salsa, Onion rings, wedges and dips, garlic bread, Prawn Skewers, profiteroles. Basically you don't want anything you'll have to cut, butter etc. Go to a frozen foods store and see what they have. Either that or go to a caterer.
DECORATION: The workplace will be decorated i'd assume as christmas will be approaching. Just make sure you use red/gold/white napkins, under the food.
DRINK: Why not make a punch? You could call it Prancer's Punch? I personally put a drinks list I made on the wall so people could tell me what to get them to drink, I had "Rudolph Rum and Coke, Winter Wonderland Whisky on Ice, Snowman Scotch, Hollyberry Beer, etc." Also you could pour out dozens of glasses of red and white wine, or bucks fizz and have them lined up on a table for people to take.
GIFTS: If you dont wanna do giftbag (as this can cause costs to run out of control) you could get a red ribbon and thread a label through it and write on the label "Merry Xmas, From F Bakers and Co" or whatever your company then tie the ribbon in a bow around a candy cane and hand then out to guests as they leave.
GAMES: Play pass the parcel (try a naughty adult version). You could also run a christmas raffle?

If you search for bowtie christmas party games on google or yahoo you should get to a bowtieproducts site that will give you 4 new original games that will help make your nite fun.
Some of the games especially Sandys Christmas Carol game can be adjusted for nearly any age 8 and up.
For parties mixers like this work because they give folks something to do while they get warmed up to each other. if they want to talk, they can talk, but if conversatrion lags games like these take up the awkward silences that many of us dread.
Whats nice is that people don't all have to be in it to enjoy it. Some can just help out if asked or enjoy the groans of the answer section.
If links work in the answer blocks here's the link

there is also some party giving advice you may enjoy.
My wife and I made up the puzzles and many people really enjoy them.
I hope they work out well for you

you should give people little bags of grinch poop (http://familycrafts.about.com/library/projects/blgrnchpoop.htm) for a party favor. You could break into teams and see who can make strings of popcorn the quickest (actually put it on a tree when you are done). Do a gift exchange ($20 maximum). Have people bring in food for a potluck dinner (spend less $ as a company). Have each person bring in an ornament and decorate the tree together (make the boss put the star on the tree). Hope you have a blast!!!

as for games i have a lot of ideas! white elephant gift exchange, decorate the christmas tree, wrap the person up the fastest, wrap the gift up the fastest the nicest, baking contest, present dash! (be kids again!) everyone chooses a toy and the person whos it calls out the name of that toy runs across (usually its like electronics 5 pepople run and the people who are caught are put in santas bag!) then once everyone has a chance to run and there's one person left they're it!

I think it was in the second 'santa Clause' movie. Office party where they all got the toys from their childhood they never got.
I think it would be VERY cool to be kids again for a night.
booze and twister, can't go wrong LOL
just make sure you get it on video!!
