[Penang, Malaysia] Christmas Tree Light-up, Eastern & Oriental Hotel

Can’t believe it’s only 4 days to Christmas! We were at the annual Christmas Tree light-up at the grand old E&O Hotel, Penang.

The hotel lobby and shops were all decked out for Christmas:

One of the most famous Penangites seen there: novelist Tan Twan Eng.

Canapes and finger foods galore served to the guests:

The light-up:

Christmas carols sung by the Penang Island Chorus:

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. :blush:

I remember going to E&O and having a drink in the beautiful lounge. We “lifted” some drink coasters (they were the flimsy cardboard type, not unlike a Bud Light one) and we have them to this day as a fun souvenir. Gorgeous hotel.
