Meeting #956

Christmas Eve Special

DateTuesday, 24 December 2024

A Christmas Party, Not Just a Meeting

Meeting 956 fell on Christmas Eve, so the club ditched the usual meeting room for an outdoor gathering with food, drinks, karaoke, and a gift exchange. Members brought wrapped gifts in the 20-50 RMB range and drew lots to decide the picking order. Jason brought a Christmas tree to set the mood.

Speeches and Table Topics

Amy stepped in as a backup speaker on short notice when the original speaker had to cancel that morning. She shared a personal Christmas story. Ivy delivered her second Pathways speech, “A Special Gift,” which left members curious about a mysterious notebook mentioned in it. Table Topics master Jason ran impromptu questions around the theme “不一样的圣诞节” (A Different Kind of Christmas).

After the Meeting

The word of the day proved so long that only Eleven attempted to use it, just once. As the evening wound down, one member shared a moment of courage in the group chat:

我刚刚圣诞夜跟喜欢的女生表白了 现在心率120 对方有点不知所措
