The spirit of Christmas was shared by in-house guests and other luminaries from various walks of life. All the guests were offered Santa hats as soon as they stepped into the lobby. The central attraction was the gigantic nine-foot tall environment friendly Christmas tree made from dried twigs, pine cones and strawberries and embellished with authentic ornaments and with gifts and presents all around. The festive atmospheres was visible with decorative wreaths, holly, poinsettias and pinecones as well as elaborate Christmas decorations like life size snowmen and huge ginger bread houses.
Guests were treated to delectable Christmas delights, such as chocolate Santa, plum cake, candies, gingerbread cookies and mulled wine as they immersed themselves in the festive spirit.
The evening kicked off with welcoming the guests, by Farhat Jamal, General Manager followed by the entry of Executive Chef Darren Conole, the host for the evening. Chef Conole welcomed the tiny tots for a treasure hunt to look for the magic switch, which would light up and illuminate the Christmas tree. The excited bunch of children ran around trying to be the first to find the switch. After the lighting of the Christmas tree by Farhat Jamal and the young winner, Santa came through his chimney and went straight into the lobby to give out goodie bags to all the excited young kids.
The sounds of Jingle Bell Rock, Joy to the World and Santa Claus is coming to town’ by young choir from St. Ann’s choir reverberated through the lobby as everyone sang along to the popular carols.
Uno2Go the patisserie, was a delight for all the children, as they shopped for little gingerbread houses, chocolate Santa’s, Christmas puddings and more. After the ceremony, guests attended a pre Christmas celebration over Christmas delicacies and mulled wine as they enjoyed the popular tunes being belted out by the three piece live band. The Christmas tree lighting ceremony day brought alive the rich tradition, heralding and unveiling the spirit of the festive season in all its grandeur.
