[Santiago] In December 2002, 
                fellow practitioners from the Santiago Center organized a special 
                Christmas celebration for initiates, Convenient Method practitioners 
                and their friends. 
              
              First a puppet show was presented, capturing the attention of 
                the visiting children. The participants then had the opportunity 
                to make the atmosphere livelier by telling jokes. At this time, 
                several initiates took the microphone to express their gratitude 
                and love for Master, thanking Her for the chance to share and 
                enjoy these precious moments of happiness.
              Next, all the sisters and brothers from the Center got together 
                to sing Christmas carols dedicated to our dear Master, wishing 
                Her much happiness in the coming year. Later, time was allocated 
                for the brothers to share their feelings and ideas with the group, 
                accompanied by a delicious cake prepared by the sister initiates.
              At the end of the celebration, there was a funny surprise. A 
                brother initiate appeared in a very peculiar dog costume to distribute 
                gifts to everyone present, offering a touch of humor, warmth, 
                and cordiality to the occasion, which then drew to a happy conclusion.
