It began and ended in the same dramatic
way…someone being carried in or out by four people. Yes, in true SCIS fashion,
it was a night to be remembered...well hopefully remembered, I guess it depends
on how much wine was consumed.
Last night was our annual staff Christmas
Party. Each year has a different theme to encourage us to be creative and to feel
inspired. Year one was “Wild West”, last year was “James Bond” and this year was
…Ollywood. Nope, not a typo, that’s what it was. They wanted us to decide whatever
we wanted, such as Hollywood, Bollywood or anything else that ended in ollywood.
It was a fantastic theme and I really loved seeing everyone dressed to the nines
in their own personal ways! Check out these amazing dresses and tuxedos.
The sign that greeted us :)
Is this Bri and Matt or Audry and Humphrey?
Aren't we cute?
Lovely ladies!
More lovely ladies...it was a bit like posing for prom pictures!
Christmas colors!
Some good looking men!
I loved the Bollywood!
And then these two show up! I love it!
So sweet!
Now, back to people being carried. After
many of us took the big bus out to the Shanghai Art Center, we arrived at a very
modern, unique venue. It was gorgeous. Christmas lights were strung all around,
the wine was flowing, cameras were flashing in every corner and compliments were
heard from all. But there was one important moment we were all waiting for...our
Head of School was to make a grand entrance. Everyone gathered near the doors with
cameras pointed, ready to shoot. The doors flung open and there he was…wearing his
white themed Bollywood outfit, raised into the air on a platform and was being carried
by four men. It was a moment we will never forget. See the pictures below for an
idea.
The Grand Entrance!
The night went on, more pictures
were taken, lots of dancing was happening, but most of all the wine was flowing.
We were totally over-served as per the usual. The glasses of wine were more like
bottles of wine. And as I stated at the beginning, someone was carried out, poor
girl! Anyways, it was a fabulous night and we feel very lucky to work at a school
that always provides such awesome parties. I hope you enjoy the pictures!
Our next adventure is to Thailand
and Laos for 3 weeks. We will keep you updated on that as we experience it all.
Merry Christmas!
