On Christmas Day there will be so many invitations and open houses that by the end of the day, you’ll be so full you could hardly think straight.

In the afternoon, I went to 3 open houses, including the Ongkili open house, hosted by Dr Jimmy Ongkili. Patricia Raymond, the 2002 Unduk Ngadau was there too:

A friendly local posing for photos with 3 singing guests:

Papier Mache and a bamboo orchestra played live music.

Here’s the the band, first backing Jasper on “O Holy Night”:

Here are they again, backing Jasper on The Beatles’ “I Saw Her Standing There.” I think this has been Jasper’s “lagu wajib” for more than 20 years already.

In the evening, we had a 3-table Christmas-cum-family-cum-birthday dinner with special guests from Italy:

At the house, stacks of presents by the self-made-crib and the tree:
