Written by Eunice Tan

     "It's the most wonderful time of the year...." We bestow to thee a hearty welcome to an amazing time of premium tea, delightful stories, and crazy games at our very own Christmas Tea party! On December 6, 2015, thousands (well, maybe not thousands) of people flooded the KK premises with anxious hearts filled with the irresistible joy of Christmas spirit! Okay, that was a bit melodramatic, but you get the point! We were bound to have fun!

Our exciting event commenced with an energetic welcome by our two emcees, Nathanael and Eliza.

Eliza: I'm Nathanael!
Nathanael: And I'm Eliza!
 Wait.... What?

Following the hilarious opening, Ian and Jern Yoong led in an interesting icebreaker called the "Key Jar" where the people, in a circle, passed around a jar with all sorts of intriguing questions. When Jern Yoong stopped playing the music on his guitar, the person holding the jar at that point of time would have to randomly draw a question and answer it in front of everyone else.

That activity was an awesome way to kick start the event and to get to know the guests better! Keep up the good work, Ian and Jern Yoong! Not long after, it was finally time to get our vocal chords back into shape *ahem*. Christmas carols here we come!

It certainly was a scrumptious Christmas tea! Thank you, moms! Following that, everyone crowded back indoors for a second activity! Ranen and Jern Ling led a game called "Christmas Artist," in which everyone would have to draw things on a paper plate that had to be on their heads the whole time! Everyone was assigned things to draw like a stable, star, and manger.
