The Christmas List

Twas truly the season! The Christmas List was Style Social’s first official event. The perfect season to launch what promises to be a perpetual holiday, to preserve at all times those things we treasure most at Christmas, freedom, friends, family, food, shopping, dancing and discounts, all in the joy of Jesus. We sought to create an environment where people could relax in a stress free atmosphere, step away from all the hustle and bustle and traffic, and enjoy the wonderful treats  while shopping for last minute things on their Christmas list. We wanted to bring the fun back into Christmas shopping, without the pressures of expense, alongside loved ones, reuniting, reconnecting. This was our gift to you, all wrapped up in a big red bow. 

Two rooms in the Hilton were transformed into a retail and party room. The holiday music was lightening the loads of our hearts in the retail room, lit up and dressed with garlands, a little Christmas tree, and all the elegance of the season. While across the hall the dimly lit dance room set with candy buffet and cocktail tables, provided the perfect ambiance for treats, dancing and laughter. Guests were entertained by our hosts Anthia and Judy who kept the room blazing with excitement, raffles, and giveaways. Luxury soaps, bed bath and body works, and freshwater pearls delighted the hearts of our unsuspecting winners. People bought gifts, men for their wives, daughters for their mothers, friends and coworkers for each other. Women excitedly accessorized their outfits for Christmas Sunday. 
We were delighted to see so many smiling faces, that were indeed the best feature of the night. 

As families came together, young and old, babies having their first taste of candy and adults no less wide eyed at our beautiful signature candy buffet. It was truly a wonder to behold! And we are still wondering who ate the little ginger bread houses. And how it was that we were left with bottles of wine and cider yet very little candy. Nevertheless we were amazed how before our eyes every face was lightened beyond that of a thousand Christmas trees, radiating with the simple joy and pleasure of being in the company of old friends and family. And they did dance! Doing the electric slide while celebrating the good times in a boogie wonderland. As we gave them a taste of our upcoming event with music from the 70’s and 80’s. 

Remember When

Remember when things were simple? You miss those days when simple things were enough. Our greatest expectations were for simple joys. Days spent with family, old friends, and surrounding neighbors who you knew by name. The people we tell our children stories of amidst uncontrollable laughter.  When there wasn’t a constant striving after things even when they seemed to lack. You learned to make the most out of what was there. Homes and hearts were open. There was a strong sense of community. Play and leisure was important in establishing these bonds. Wouldn’t it delight you to revisit this time, to simply play again, laugh again, have some candy, lick the spoon? We exist to create opportunities for you to reconnect with those simple pleasures of your early years, those things and people that made your life enjoyable and hard times bearable. We want to restore a sense of community, the days where friends were treated like family and people simply enjoyed one another, laughing and sharing stories.

Each event is designed with the intent of giving value to the precious things that we rarely take the time to consider. The things that helped to nurture your relationships from childhood, things you lovingly recall when you get together, the songs you sang, the games you played, the foods and sweets you enjoyed.  Events that may serve to let your hair down during a stressful time, healing during a time of hurt or disappointment or a much needed reconnection with treasured friends, family or people of shared interest. These are events that will allow you to reflect on your past, reunite with the people who shared your greatest memories and create an opportunity to connect with those who may shape your tomorrow.
