A brilliantly planned pageant took Christmas celebrations to absolutely another level!
The ambience was compelling with an incredible aura. The welcome extended to all the guests by our Santa was dramatic and exceptional, and took everyone by surprise.
Each one wished to be photographed with Santa, our own Shalini Kapoor who charmed all with her acting prowess! Positive and happy vibes enhanced the fun quotient and the smiling faces of our gorgeous ladies said it all! Soon beautifully-dressed women were relishing plum cake, yummy baby pizzas with hot tea & coffee, suitable to the occasion.
Red, white & green colours were in sync with the festivities. An ingeniously decorated Christmas Tree with gifts for all the ladies placed around it was just perfect and attracted the ladies, who rushed to take selfies and pictures. The entire hall echoed with their laughter. One could see the warm bonhomie and spirit of camaraderie amongst the guests.
Soon our MC for the day, Mani Anand Yadav, took centre-stage and ushered in a breath of fresh air with her one-liners and with complete command of both English & Hindi, adding to the pun and fun as a marvellous host!
We began with Karaoke and it was good to see many of our ladies participating. Each chose her favourite song and participated enthusiastically.
Lo & behold, suddenly our secret Santa, merrily riding a bike adorned with Christmas decorations, entered the hall with a bag of lucky numbers for Christmas gifts for all. They had to dip and pick a number and take the gift with the same number from under the Christmas tree. The process was full of mirth and excitement.
Our Secret Santa came all the way from Punjab and introduced himself with humorously enacted Punjabi poetic lyrics and the audience burst into laughter as one could hear thunderous applause for Santa.
Next on the programme was Musical Chairs with a twist.
Ritu Bharadwaj and Mani, bubbly and energetic members of the Ladies Club Committee, conducted the Musical Chairs with passion and vigour. It was a joyous and thrilling sight as almost all the women participated in the game. The winner of the game was charming Mrs Rekha Chandra.
Thereafter, the exhibition was declared open and the girls headed to the stalls with exquisite handcrafted exhibits!
An elaborate lunch buffet was announced open. It was a specially curated menu suitable for the festivities.
Nothing gives the organisers more joy and satisfaction than seeing its members relishing yummy delicacies over chitchat! The Fruit Trifle definitely stole the show!
It was gratifying to receive compliments from every single lady.
