The Christmas Party of English Lounge

The day before yesterday, December 18th, almost all the members of the English Lounge got together to celebrate the coming Christmas, holding a party of 36 people. It is my first Christmas Party in Japan!

We really had a great time, having tasty foods including Japaneses as well as western ones suck as pizza which is apparently one of the favorites of everyone ,  and great beverages, playing interesting games and talking with each other.

We were divided into 10 groups for the game by picking a card casually. The ones who have got the same number on the card consisted a group. I was in the No. 8 group. There were 12 questions totally and the group who has got the most questions answered correctly would win. We tried our best and fortunately enough, we got all the 12 questions right and got a little present.

The last section of the party was to get and open the Christmas presents for which we were asked to prepare and put the present under the Christmas tree ahead of time. The person who we were to get present for was decided by picking lots and was kept secret. It is called "Secret Santa". I opened my present which was a cell phone strap as soon as it was transmitted to me from the Santa, Bill, who is an American boy.

I really enjoyed myself in the party, looking forward to the advent of Christmas.
