My friends & family, we are an eclectic international
bunch of characters. I say this, as we are all so
different; entrepreneurs, socialites, free spirits, openminded and or opinionated. Each and every single
one of us has a different opinion about the Holiday
Season. There are those that love everything about
Christmas and what it stands for, Including Wham’s
“Last Christmas”. And there are those that are still
wondering what all the fuzz is about. But the one
common denominator, the thing we all love, is that
the holiday season is that time of the year where we
all come together. We take some time off our busy
schedules and reflect on the past year. It’s also a time
where we look for any excuse to open up another
bottle of bubbles. We hope you too will take some
time off, party a little, reflect and be happy for all the
successes of the past year and all lessons learned. Use
all your experiences of this year, your life’s lessons
wisely to make your next year even brighter.

Year. The date varies annually as it’s celebrated

Chinese, means family gathering, the colour red
& fireworks.There used to live a monster called
Nian at the end of the year. He was horrible and
took away people’s food and belongings. Nian,
the monster, was chased away during his rampage
by people wearing red clothing and making loud
noises. Chines New year
