The 19th Scandinavian Joint Christmas Party was held on Friday, 9 December 2011at our regular venue, The Westin Tokyo Hotel in Ebisu, where the party has been held also in 2005-2009.
The party started with greetings from the organizing committee, followed by Christmas songs by a choir from the American School in Japan, a much appreciated performance by the Mexican magician "Riken" after which the real Santa paid a visit, assisting in the lotteries.
The evening was ended off with a lot of dancing until midnight to the tunes of Brad and the Hitmen.
Thanks to sponsoring from 27 companies the evening was also filled with lotteries for great prices, the highlight being tickets to Europe from our long time supporters, SAS and Finnair.
Other appreciated prize items included a four items from POS, including a Jacob Jensen watch, two 50,000 yen gift vouchers from the cash donations of the Gold sponsors Ericsson Japan and Volvo and a very valuable hotel voucher from Westin Tokyo.
In addition, 50 prizes were distributed by a pre-event lottery, 32 table gift winners brought home a candleholder. A total of 91 prizes meant that almost one in three guests won something.
