The U.S. Consulate Christmas party was filled with (gingerbread) sweetness and light(s), and the only single thing more exciting than the gingerbread houses to decorate was the arrival of Santa Claus. This year, like last year, he arrived in a green Triumph sleigh driven by a special elf. This year that same elf (David Summers) was supported by such a powerful team he didn’t even have to turn on his engine. The reindeer energy of Consul General Bea Camp and Management Officer Ray Murphy, and the elf muscle of Kritaya, Supranee and Wan, provided all the pushing and pulling. Santa’s Helper Jami led the charge and alerted the children that the sleigh had arrived.

The first five teams in the Chiang Mai Pool League took winning points in last week’s matches, with La Villa victims to Half Moon’s backlash, The Wall returning to form and Chiangers and Bangers, Blue Sky Bar and The Local trundling on relentlessly.
