2025 WAY IN NETWORK CHRISTMAS PARTY

/in /by

Way In Network successfully hosted its 2025 Christmas Party on 21 December at The Brighton Hotel, Sydney. With over 50 attendees — including our members, their families and friends — the afternoon was filled with joy, laughter and festive cheer.

MC – Nicole He

For this year’s Christmas gathering, we’re trying something different—embracing a sunny, beach, relaxed holiday vibe that reflects Australia’s weather and lifestyle.

Heartfelt thanks to Nicole for her courage to innovate, and to Felicia, Stella, Florence, Lisa, and all the sisters for their hard work and support, which made this year’s Christmas event a complete success.

President of Way In Network – Jessie Xiao

Jessie delivered her president’s speech at the beginning of the event, thanking the sisters for bringing their friends and families together to celebrate Christmas, as well as expressing appreciation to friends from other associations for attending. She wished everyone a joyful time, great food, and shared that a professional photographer had been arranged to capture beautiful Christmas memories for all.

The event featured a lavish spread of food that delighted everyone’s taste buds and set the tone for a wonderful celebration.

After enjoying the delicious food, everyone took turns in front of the professional photographer’s camera, capturing beautiful Christmas photos—whether with friends, with family, or solo. Each photo became a cherished memory of this special Christmas.

During the Secret Santa gift exchange, everyone participated enthusiastically, exchanging Christmas presents and taking home moments of surprise and heartfelt joy.

Special thanks to our regular event photographer, Milly, who always selflessly captures moments for everyone, preserving these beautiful times through her lens.

We also want to thank Ellie for sponsoring the beautiful Christmas headpieces, which looked stunning and wonderful on everyone.

One of the highlights of this gathering was a fun activity where participants could strike creative poses for photos to win extra Christmas gifts. Thanks to those who joined in, bringing lots of laughter and joy to the event. Also a big thank you for sisters who have donated these extra Christmas gifts to the party.

Heartfelt thanks to our committee for their careful planning and selfless dedication to all the activities throughout 2025. May we continue to work hand in hand in 2026 to do even more charity work and support those in need.

As 2025 draws to a close, we wish everyone a wonderful Christmas and a joyful welcome to the New Year ahead.
