XX-Mas Parties

If there is such a thing as “gross redundancy”, then this one would be very much qualified.

Imagine, this is my first time to attend a Christmas party held in two distant venues. Likewise, this is my first time to attend two separately-dated Christmas parties held by virtually one organization, and held on the same venue.

Got confused? Well, here are the details.

• Last Dec. 5 and 6, the parent company of our subsidiary firm hosted a Christmas party. The first night was held at the exclusive Canyon Woods in Metro Tagaytay, then the extended party (the following day) was held at the Canyon Cove, a private beach resort in Nasugbu, Batangas.

• On Dec. 17 and 18, the subsidiary firm hosted a Christmas party at the Canyon Cove. The big boss of the parent company, who is also the big boss of the subsidiary firm, was also in attendance.

Based from the information above, here are the double-double incidents:

• Two Christmas parties held by one organization (i.e., holding firm G2 Global).
• Two Christmas parties held on a common location (i.e., Canyon Cove).
• Two separately-dated two-day events (Dec. 5-6 & Dec. 17-18).
• Two venues with both names start with “Canyon” (Canyon Woods & Canyon Cove).
• Two related companies – parent firm and its marketing subsidiary.

Nonetheless, I'm still thankful to the organization and never mind if it's redundant. It's free, anyway.
