Note
A form that nearly always wants an object: enjoying the music, enjoying the view, enjoying a quiet evening. The same slot carries the drier sense of having the benefit of something, as in enjoying good health or enjoying a right. In Indian English the object can drop away, so we are enjoying simply means having a good time. Elsewhere, listeners expect to hear what is being enjoyed.
