Damian de Goa Christmas Decor

mario — Wed, 31 Dec 2008 22:45:47 +0000

This is truly the best decorated place in the whole of Goa. Every year a new decoration during Christmas time. This year we had the Von Trapp Family (Sound of Music) by the Crib on the first floor and Snow White with the 7 dwarfs all dressed as Santas on the ground floor. If you are in Goa, swing by their place in Porvorim.

Heavy Christmas Tree

This huge tree at the Radisson SAS must have a ton of decoration on it. Almost every branch has 4-5 large ornaments. And look at all those goodies at the bottom. Or are they empty boxes?

Crib – Kuwaiti Style

This is a very creative crib at the Cathedral in Kuwait City. It includes the Kuwait Towers, the Liberation Tower, some of the distinct buildings around the city and looks like the First Ring Road project extends all the way there too.

Here’s wishing you all a Merry Christmas from Goa – the land where 365 days a year are a holiday and the parties never stop.

… and NO! That’s not me riding an elephant in a Santa suit!

Bonus Time?

With economic recession hitting most of the world hard, a lot of staff are still wondering if there will be a big bonus this year for Christmas. Hope our company gets even more generous this year!!!

The video above is pretty funny!

Google has announced their first Gingerbread House Design Competition. Reminds me of the gingerbread house I photographed recently at the Courtyard Marriott in Sharq.

You need to use their SketchUp modelling tool. [Link]

Twelve Days of Christmas

mario — Wed, 10 Dec 2008 22:26:14 +0000

The Twelve Days of Christmas, and the associated evenings of those twelve days (Twelve-tide), are the festive days beginning the evening of Christmas Day (December 25) through the morning of Epiphany (January 6). The associated evenings of the twelve days begin on the evening before the specified day. Thus, the first night of Christmas is December 25–26, and Twelfth Night is January 5–6. This period is also known as Christmastide.
