That is some BS in my opinion. What if people dont want to celebrate holidays? What if they had a recent death in their family and dont feel the "holiday spirit"? I know I wasnt feeling up to things the year my grandmother passed away (she passed away a few years ago in December). People shouldnt have to go where they dont WANT to go. And I bet its not during work hours so you probably have to take off YOUR PERSONAL TIME to go to the event. That is garbage. Your CFO should NOT put that in your performance evaluations and I would write him an anonymous letter. In fact if you trust people in the office, get them to write anonymous letters too (but do this ONLY if you can trust them because it might get back to the CFO).

If I were you, I would "show my face" at the party, make sure the CFO sees me, and then sneak out the back door.
