昨天的圣诞聚会
2015-12-24 16:13
每到圣诞，我总会想起2003年的英国贺岁片Love Actually。想起那个过气的老歌星Bill和被Bill誉为世界上最丑的经纪人Joe，想起Bill因为圣诞夜的顿悟，离开他一直追逐的名流聚会，跑回到小破公寓里跟Joe笨拙又温暖地拥抱在一起。
Joe: So what was this epiphany?
Bill: Er, it...it was about Christmas.
Joe: You realised it was all around.
Bill: No. I realised that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love.
Joe: Right.
Joe: So what was this epiphany?
Bill: Er, it...it was about Christmas.
Joe: You realised it was all around.
Bill: No. I realised that Christmas is the time to be with the people you love.
Joe: Right.
所以当团队提出要办一个圣诞聚会时，我们并没有想太多我们要做什么，甚至连个活动流程都没写。但我们很清楚我们不要做什么：不要趁机弄留学讲座，不要搞“当天签约立减2000元”的促销，甚至不要邀请所谓的潜在客户。
那些事情，是一年中其他日子要做的。
而圣诞，就让我们和行田小伙伴们一起做点蛋糕和饼干，互相送上精心准备的礼物，分享过去这一年的收获和遗憾。吃吃喝喝、说说笑笑，这就是最棒的圣诞聚会，不是么？

最后，放上Lucas在昨天聚会上的开场白，祝大家圣诞快乐、新年快乐!
"On this night that is most silent and most holy, we wish that our voices, songs, unbridled laughters and heartfelt stories could remind the world, that the celebration of Christmas, is more than another commercialized holiday neatly gift-wrapped in neon lights and transactions. It is a time that let us all join together, to share great food and close company, to look back on another year that has almost gone past, and remember all the moments that made us feel the gravity of these three words: love, family, and home. To all of our students, we are here to celebrate your past, both in tears and smiles. And we will always be here for you, like beloves friends, and an unshakable family."
