Etiquette sparks flexible holiday party rules at RPI
A discussion on inclusive celebrations notes a joke about renaming a Christmas party to a holiday event. RPI in Troy shifted its staff Christmas party to a holiday and then to a year end appreciation event with decor for multiple faiths. Curtis Powell says the tree is complemented by other symbols and pork is served on a separate table. Dresser argues understanding helps, noting he would keep an end of year party with a Christmas tree if needed.
