STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- Victory State Bank agrees that holiday parties are a good way for employers to show their appreciation to staffers. To help ensure everyone has a good time, the bank is urging that small-business owners know the Dos and Don’ts of holiday-time gatherings.

With this in mind, Victory State --- the only community-based commercial bank in Staten Island, N.Y. ---suggests business owners consider these 10 tips from FoxBusiness.com:

DON'T: Skip the party. Business etiquette expert Patricia Rossi says to consider the office party an extension of the business day.

"You want to make sure you are there and at your very best," she says.

Anna Post, co-author of the 18th Edition of Emily Post's Etiquette, says even if you don’t like your colleagues or bosses, you still need to show up.

"Just because they are jerks doesn't mean you get to be one," Post says. "It's one night out of the whole year.

DO: Decide if you will drink ahead of time. If you decide to have alcoholic beverages at the party, take cues from the high-ups and be sure to limit yourself, says Dr. Gregg Jantz, founder of The Center for Counseling and Health Resources.

"A lot of times people don't realize they are being judged and monitored in some instances at a party," he says.

DO: Dress appropriately. Rossi suggests finding out the dress code for the party and following it.
