This is probably not the year to make a fool of yourself at the holiday party.

The number of companies planning to have a holiday party this year dropped to 62 percent, according to a survey by outsourcing-consulting firm Challenger, Gray & Christmas. That's down from 77 percent last year and 90 percent two years ago.

If you're among the lucky ones to have a holiday party this year, a word to the wise: "For employees, now is not the time to draw attention to oneself with embarrassing conduct at the holiday party, particularly at a time when everyone's job is at risk of being downsized," advised John Challenger, CEO of Challenger, Gray & Christmas.
