The start of a great Christmas party
There is a video at the end of this post that is well worth the watch!
This Christmas was like many I have had in the past, there are Christmas songs filling the radio airwaves for a month. The local shopping mall is adorned with Christmas music. The office party is slated to have a secret Santa gift exchange. But what unfolded at the Negros Women for Tomorrow Foundation Christmas party was unlike anything I have experienced.
In the couple of weeks leading up to the Christmas party each NWTF department is tasked with coming up with a dance performance. Not just to entertain the rest of the audience, but as part of an annual competition. I quickly learn that this competition is a big deal and begin to wonder what it will look like.
The final days lead up to the Christmas party and rumors are afloat that Josh and I are also supposed to prepare a dance routine. We both blow it off as everyone just teasing us. Then on the night of the Christmas party each department delivers their own unique dance routine, and the suspense of Josh and I dancing builds despite Josh and I did not preparing anything because we did not take the rumors seriously.
So in a last ditch effort not to disappoint Josh and I decide we will do the Macarena. With little preparation and less dancing skills we aim to please the crowd. Take a look and see for yourself.
Needless to say that was one Christmas party that will not soon be forgotten.
