บท 2114: Christmas party 2023 (1)

~ Los Angeles, the Cliffside Villa ~

Three months passed in a flash…

December 24

It's mid-afternoon and the Cliffside Villa is buzzing with activity, as they are preparing for the Christmas party which became a tradition where friends and family gather for an amazing event that is filled with entertainment and good food, and ends with fireworks.

This is the first time for Vasily to be present, and to say that he is excited is an understatement. He purchased all the presents weeks ago.

Since early morning, Vasily was observing kids from the Cliffside Villa practicing their acts on the stage while the staff was decorating the massive underground ballroom. Sarah told him that there will be singing, dancing, and playing various instruments, and usually, there is a play or two. What was initially a show of talents among kids, now looks more like professionals performing, as everyone grew up and polished their skills.
