Potlucks are horrible in general at offices but as a holiday party?[/quote]

+1.  We have people in our office who refuse to eat potluck food because they think it's unsanitary to have food at work that was not prepared in a commercial kitchen.  (Years ago, we tried potlucks, but a few people refused, and so we go out to a group lunch.)

Could some just bring in a few platters from Wegman's and expense those?

(BTW, when my DH was in the federal government, he was GS employee but was serving as an acting at an agency.  The office secretaries let him know that this acting person traditionally buys all of the food for the holiday party.  So my DH did that, but I felt kind of annoyed that he had to pay $500 for party food for the office.  It's not like he was some highly-paid person to whom $500 meant nothing.)[/quote]
