Taking this one a bit literally, we used to have Christmas parties in the library for all staff at the museum, which was always good fun. Sadly there's no longer the space (the above picture is pre-removal of open shelves), and there are plenty of other museum festive celebrations - and other celebrations too, like when we've worked really hard on an exhibition, or a refurbishment of a gallery.
Of course, at the moment ain't no celebrations at all. I can think of two recently which had to be postponed (let's not say cancelled just yet) - the building of a lab which meant the library got its office back (can you tell what I was most looking forward to celebrating? ;) ) and the refurbishment of a gallery which has just recently reopened to the public to glorious fanfare.
It's times like this you think you're never going to take those moments for granted anymore.
