Ridiculous, yes. But it's probably not the store's fault. There are many words that must be carefully used or avoided in corporate communications. Never call a full-time position a permanent position least you be sued when you fire that employee for cause. Never call a bonus "profit sharing", because profit sharing is a program with a bunch of legal implications. Etc, etc. I wouldn't be surprised if a "holiday" something-something didn't have some sort of labor relations issues.
I worked for a place that had it's party in January. No Xmas issue; just let's have a party when rates are lower. Anybody who's religious can have a party anytime they want; doesn't have to be at work. I never accepted or turned down a job by saying what do you call your Xmas party and when is it!!!!!

I dunno
Seems like if they have this thing every year they might want to call it a "perennial" party.
Just a thought.

One of my colleagues suggested that since it's not a "holiday" party we should move it to September when we don't have to drive on icy roads.

With the Super Bowl game hype and festivities mounting and just about to kick in.......maybe, your company should rename it to the Super Store Party!
