Maybe a drink at The Ramada sometime after 5.30 on Christmas Eve? ;o)

I have a memory imprinted on my mind of my first Christmas in the Middle East. We went to an hotel in Riyadh with friends. It was really very festive - Christmas menu, holly pictures on the napkins etc.

Somewhere between courses, they wheeled out the Filipino Kitchen staff who sang carols to us (rather erratically lol) accompanied by one of them playing his guitar.

It was SO nice!!!!

However, that was about 30 years ago - I doubt it would happen these days :o(
