A Retro Christmas in 2006
Christmas with my family is full of fun and revelry. Since almost all of our relatives decided to stay until Christmas, me and my cousins decided to organize again our little Christmas party. We didn't plan on having this party this year because we were all busy with the wedding. My sister used to organize these parties, but she didn't have time this year because she's so busy with her new job.
But, as faith would have it, we all found time to organize this special Christmas party. We first discussed the theme of our party. Two Christmases ago, our theme was formal. We all dressed up in our formal wear. Long sleeves and ties for boys. Skirts and dresses for girls. Last year, our theme was a Luau "Hawaiian" Party. We all have these colorful hawaiian shirts that my sister and Kuya Sherwin bought in Divisoria. The kids had to wear grass skirts 'coz they performed some hawaiian dances for the oldies. It was so colorful and cute.
So this year, we all decided for a RETRO theme. Wherein, boys will wear thight-fitting, brightly colored, psychedelic shirts and pants. Complete with sideburns and weird looking hair. The girls will wear, short colorful dresses with big belts. The hair will be arranged like in the 60's or 70's like fly-away hair and big headbands.
It was so fun seeing all of us in period clothing and to think we didn't spend that much on these clothes. It was great to see our uncles and aunties laughing at us wearing what we think they wore when they were our age. We prepared a program for this small Christmas Party of ours. The kids and the youngsters prepared a dance number for the oldies to enjoy. We also prepared games for the oldies to join in. Of course, food, picture taking and gifts were plentiful. One auntie of ours even commented that this year's party was even better than last year. That's a complement that all of us cousins wanted to hear. We were so glad they enjoyed it. It was a surprise that we topped our Party last year, because we thought that one was great. But Christmas 2006 is the best so far. Hope we can top it again in 2007.
Oh BTW, the performances presented were:
1.) My niece Bel and nephew Darryl, danced to the tune of Sumayaw Sumunod by VST & Co. Wherein Bel was the one leading Darryl throughout the dance. The oldies had a laugh on this.
2.) All the kids dancing to a medley of songs from the 60's to the 80's. Like songs from the Beach Boys and the Papaumamaw jingle. Everyone enjoyed there performance.
3.) Lastly, the Groovy men, danced to the tune of Katawan by Hagibis. Wherein they had an image of machomen at the start of the song, but in the end the image changed to "they like machomen". This performance got a standing ovation from everyone!
Oh yeah, after the oldies went to sleep after the party. My cousins and I played poker 'till morning; and naturally, yours truly won again. hehehe Much to the complaints of my cousins, all wanting a rematch. hehehehe I'm ready anytime anywhere my dear cousins. I'm ready anytime...
