Pangasinenses Down Under celebrate Christmas Party with unicycling Santa

The Pangasinenses Down Under Victoria Inc. (PDUVI) held a free Christmas party on 10 December 2022 at the Polish Hall in Ardeer, Victoria.

The party featured music from RJN Sounds, which brought attendees of all ages to the dance floor. The celebration was organized to bring joy and happiness to all members, friends, and supporters of the organization.

Appearing as special guest, Santa Claus surprised the children by riding a unicycle instead of his traditional sleigh. All the children received presents from Santa because they were on the “nice” list. The organization also held a Kris Kringle gift exchange, and gave special gifts to the youngest, oldest, earliest arriving, and farthest traveling attendees.

During the event, officers and members of the organisation sang Christmas carols, including “Christmas in our Hearts,” “Give Love on Christmas Day,” and “Ang Pasko ay Sumapit,” as a way of sharing their Christmas message and bringing happy childhood memories to attendees.
