On the evening of December 24, students and teachers from the BC Mandarin School gathered in the Beijing campus for a splendid Christmas party. 

After days of preparation, the party captured the Christmas remarkably, with plentiful delicacies and drinks, carefully prepared games and activities, and a lottery. Everyone ate and drank to their heart's content, and enjoyed Christmas to the fullest.  

The venue was filled with cheerful voices, laughter and music. In the midst of this bubbling atmosphere, we introduced the first activity — a lottery with a rich variety of prizes, including Forbidden City souvenirs, Gucci perfume, red wine, etc. With such appealing prizes, everyone was naturally extremely excited to win, egging each other on in keen anticipation. With Santa Claus the night's lively host, the atmosphere was filled with the spirit of Christmas and joyful conversation. 

The final activity of the night, a game of Bingo, was the evening's culminating point. Everyone participating introduced themselves warmly, and got to know one another quickly. As the host picked names out of a hat, everyone kept looking at the names on their chart with eager anticipation, holding their breath. With the announcement of each winner, they would break out in warm congratulations and applause. Those lucky enough chosen to draw for their final prize, put their best acting skills to use, pretending to have drawn the red envelope containing the highest prize. The waves of laughter and excitement were endless. 

The night ended with a group picture of everyone present. The party undoubtedly left a lasting, nostalgic, sweet memory of Christmas eve at BC, strengthening the bonds between teachers and students, and overall showcasing our vitality here at BC.
