Festive Celebrations @ Shook! JW Marriot Kuala Lumpur

Ho! Ho! Ho! This is the season to be jolly and share the joy with friends, family and also with those not so fortunate. I was delighted to join JW Marriott Kuala Lumpur's annual launch of the Toys for Tots charity campaign and Christmas tree lighting ceremony. The celebrations then continued with the preview at Shook! and Sentidos Gastrobar – The Latin Grill have lined up a selection of sumptuous curations this holiday season.

The joyous ceremony was officiated by Area General Manager Mr Mahmoud Skaf, the Toys for Tots charity campaign is a benefit event hosted yearly by the hotel in support of charitable organisations for children within the community.

Love and joy filled the air that evening that commenced with Christmas carolling by children from the National Autism Society of Malaysia (NASOM). Mr Skaf gave a warm welcome address followed by a countdown to light up the Christmas tree with the children, hotel guests, employees and members of the media. There was a special appearance by Santa Claus and the children from the homes were treated to a luscious spread of festive dinner, eggnogs and cookies.
