christmas party

Christimas parties often abound everywhere in the city during the season. Here, a small party was being held and the emcees facilitated some parlor games to entertain the guests. A game was in progress with a winner required to be the first to bring anything the host may fancy so as to win a gift price.Previously, the object the host wanted was to bring a denture, which was eventually won by a senior lady.

park christmas

Park goers stroll at the popular People's Park in the heart of downtown area, with its dome awash with Christmas lights and a large Christmas tree prominently placed in the promenade area.

The city would probably be the least noisy among other places in the country for a firecracker ban by the city mayor is fully implemented here. The advantage however, is that the city often records zero to nil firecracker injuries, in stark contrast to the rest of the country.

But some locals aired preference that at least controllled and regulated use would be compromised, like officialy sponsored fireworks display in strategic places to compensate for the ban.

city hall lights

I passed by the city hall area a few nights ago and saw some 'enlightening' sites, literally. The large trees fronting the public government building were littered with multitudes of lights, and sizable, behaved local crowds gathered underneath the clean plazas and benches to savor the ambiance, replete with quality sounding music that played local christmas songs. A recommended place to visit this season.
