A 33-YEAR-OLD secretary was recovering this morning after a few of her co-workers punched her in the throat after she asked them if they were ‘feeling Chrismassy’, it has emerged.

A spokesperson for the company who had to send the injured woman home told Dafty News: “We do have a policy in our company that you have to wait until the first day in December before you mention the C-word.”

Witnesses say the woman was asking for it after she started to decorate her office space with a snow glow ornament and flicking through the toy section in an Argos catalogue during her tea-break.

It is understood the secretary and mother-of-three won’t be filing assault charges in fear she won’t be invited to the office Christmas party.
