'Twas the Night Before Christmas

This has been the busiest Christmas ever!

Santa's Dating Services: 29 year old Chinese male, organises parties, wears funny hats and uses his powers for organising evil games.
It all started on Christmas Eve with the party that was organised by my brother. Understandably, there were a lot of new people there at the party, so it was a little awkward at first, but then the party soon warmed right up when we started playing the games that he had so painstakingly prepared. Remember musical parcels? You know, the one you played with your kindergarten friends (Hi, Lai Yee.) or at little kiddy birthday parties?
Yup, imagine sixteen full grown adults being made to do things like sing "Old McDonald had a farm, ee ai ee ai oh, and on his farm he had a giraffe...."or meow to the tune of Three Blind Mice, and you would have a rough idea of the fun silliness that went on that night!
We also had fun with a carolling game (I still carry the blister from playing the guitar ever so violently) and also with charades/pictionary. It's nice to bring out the inner child once in a while (mine is an outer child).
We discovered the most fun thing ever - the Nintendo Wii! (It's as fun as it sounds!) It was a great virtual workout as we battled each other in bowling, shooting, boxing and also cow racing!
(Yes, you heard it right - it was quite a mooving experience!)
...
(The lame brigade called, and would like their joke back please).

Wii are family: My mother attempting the Wii after much coaxing. Tim has his game face on, and thrashed Mummy comprehensively.

All in all it was a really fun Christmas Eve night, topped off with wonderful food and robust Christmas carolling and celebratory drinks... fun!! Huge kudos to my brother for organising it with the help of Shaun, Doreen and Tim!

One Big Happy: Smiles all around after the games. You should've seen us during the games. If you look closely you might spot scratch marks/trails of blood on most of us.
