“Christmas is the day that holds all time together.” – Alexander Smith

Whenever it comes  to the Christmas day Season, what is the first thought that comes to our mind? Well, some of us when we are still children, we always think that Christmas is a season of giving and receiving lots of gifts, and it represents the birth of Jesus Christ that is coming. I remember that I always saw and helped my Mom buying and wrapping up presents to give to my cousins and relatives and it gets really more exciting when Mom cooks lots of delicious food. As we grew older, I just realized that Christmas is not all about gift-giving. It is a season where families and friends bond and have fun, creating memories together. 

Well, here in the Philippines, Christmas day Season starts always in the — BER months or in the month of September. That’s why we are considered to be the country who celebrates Christmas the longest. All the streets and houses are illuminated with bright lights as well as the happiness in the hearts of the people. Christmas Parties have been celebrated by every school or company especially when the Christmas Day is getting near.

Last year in 2019, before the pandemic happened,I had my first Christmas Party in YOYO. We have our Pirate Theme Party. It was a wrap and we really had fun at that time.

And this year, everything is almost back to normal and I miss everyone. Well, Everything is well prepared in the morning before everyone goes to the event. Unfortunately, the heavy rain happened, so booking a Grab car is hard. Waiting game is on and traffic is real. 

When everyone is in the venue we start jumping to happiness and non stop taking selfies, when we see each other face to face again. (fyi we take tests before going to the event and thankfully we are all NEGATIVE! – – – – –  )

We had our Christmas Party gathering last December 17, at Studio 300, Pioneer Center, Pasig. The place is huge! If you’re looking for a place to have fun with your friends and family, this is the best place to go!

We came up with the Casual Neutral color Theme where everyone has the chance to show their hidden talent in fashion (despite of the haggardness because of the traffic and rain :awkward)

The host (Jamie) started the opening remarks and we took the next step to take a drink of cheers for celebrating the journey of success together over the year. 

And ofcourse the best party will not be considered the best without its “Best and really good food.” In Studio 300, they really serve us as if we would never eat again the next day. The food that they served was very mouth-watering. And their staff are properly attired and following the health protocols so you can make sure that the foods are clean and well-prepared.

While we are having our Dinner together, there are other things that excite us during this event — it’s the raffle! Christmas Parties wouldn’t be complete without these. And of course, the spirit of Christmas is giving, so we did our Christmas exchange gift.  

And when you think that this would be  the end of our Christmas Party, it is not yet! For this year 2021, to make the Christmas Party more exciting, we decided to hold a lot of activities from our game masters Reese and Tine. One was derived from a game in the Tik Tok app ‘’Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes’’ that was so fun! 

Next we had the Bowling game and billiard, every member had their chance to showcase their talents. Sounds really cool, yeh?

Lastly, we know that everyone loveeeees (insert Kara’s voice) singing and dancing, a party will not be perfect without Karaoke and Party-Party!!! 🎉🥳 

As mentioned earlier, raffles are meant for some lucky members, but we also prepared a Christmas goodie bag for everyone.🎁 

And to  wrap up our Christmas Party gathering this year, everyone had a wonderful big night that is full of laughter and fun. Even though it was just almost a quick party since we got late to the event, we all still felt that love and generosity is not only surrounded in our families but also by the friends in the company that we are working with, like you treat as a family.

Therefore, it is the core of our Christmas Party — to cherish every happy moment together. We should always remember that it is not only in the Christmas day season should we spread love to others, but all throughout the year. #Wherepartiesstart

YOYOYOYOYO  — that’s it! Merry Christmas, everyone!

Cheers,
