Kempinski Grand &Ixir Hotel Bahrain City Centre:
Throughout this month the hotel will offer gingerbread houses to welcome the festive season and a delectable array of freshly-baked gingerbread cookies complete with small bags of icing.
Bahrain’s top player Jaffer Ibrahim will lead a host of local stars when the Travelex Indian Club-GCC Open Badminton Tournament gets underway on December 28 at the club’s two courts. More than 100 players from Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Bahrain are expected to participate in the three-day event, which is being organised by the club in association with the Bahrain Badminton and Squash Federation (BBSF).
So you’ve either purchased, wrapped and tagged (hopefully with the correct names) the gifts you will hand out with zest this coming Sunday, or you will have one day set aside to do the whole present buying experience in one big bash.
I must admit that all of my wrapping has been done and delivered in good time, allowing me to concentrate on the entertainment side of this festive season.
Even though I won’t be back in Europe with friends and family in person to see the reactions, I’m fairly certain they will produce smiles and laughter on Christmas morning, and I too am looking forward to unwrapping some presents so I can then pick up the phone and thank everybody.
