Magnificent. I've just received a birthday card signed by the whole company.

It's not my birthday, but still.

Happy birthday, Maclennane :-) cake.

Maybe, in the interests of personal data security, everyone in the company is assigned a random birthday date, for the purposes of in-house celebration?

Or maybe they send everyone one on the same day, a bit like the Queen's official birthday, as that way they can get all the loss of productivity (due to cake eating, long lunches, nights out and subsequent hangovers) over in one hit.

This will be trimmed with lights and festive decorations to celebrate Christmas time here at <company name>. We will also display on and around the tree this year all the children’s Christmas card entries and winners for 2019.

The tree will be displayed in its glory up until Friday 20th December when it will be offered to all employees to take home if you are a lucky winner (tree only)
If you are interested in taking the tree home which must be taken between 20th & 23rd December please send me your name.All names will be put together and one name drawn out on the morning of the 19th December to see who the lucky winner is.

The tree is being supplied by <supplier name> They do a wonderful variety of Christmas tree and do deliver if anyone cares for a real tree this year.

A lucky winner? Does that mean more than one person wins? Or is there only one lucky winner?
