We are in a Muslim country so obviously, Christmas is not celebrated around here except when Christians and/or Filipinos gather together and enjoy good food, fun, and each other's company.
Our group in UNO, the Titans, held our Christmas party last December 5 at the Hilton, Abu Dhabi. The food was great, all were Filipino dishes from chop suey (ok, Chinese), pancit canton (ok, Chinese again), fish fillet, chicken bbq to beef mechado, with fresh fruits and cakes for dessert.
Everyone was dressed to the nines for the masquerade ball theme. There was even a Mr. and Ms. UNO of the night.
Christmas presentations were staged from all the five subgroups of the Titan family. Our group, the Titans-Falcons, presented a dance number to the tune of Feliz Navidad. Unfortunately, we did not win.
But more than the prize, it was the fun, laughter, and the whole experience which made that night enjoyable. Everybody had a great time.
The night was filled with fun and laughter and positivity. This is what you get when you mingle with network marketers.
I bought a bath towel for my exchange gift. We formed a big circle, sang the "Ang Pasko ay Sumapit" while passing our gifts to our right. Whatever gift you end up holding when the song finishes is yours. And guess what was inside the nice paper gift bag I got? Surprise - a bath towel!!!
