Partylessness
We've been partyless now for about five years. The days of the on-site party during office hours appear to be dying fast, killed by a joyless mixture of the Litigious Society and a general tightening of purse-strings. Equally insidious is the rise of the "I'm not sending cards this year, but giving the money to charity" ploy, a prime chunk of weasely laziness which sticks its fingers in its ears and goes "La La La" when anyone points out that its perfectly feasible to both send Christmas cards *and* donate to a favourite charity. They actually aren't mutually exclusive.
