At SM City San Jose Del Monte, a magnificen­t 30-foot tall Christmas tree adorned the Santa Claus village at the mall’s event center. The glowing ensemble was a feast for the eyes as it was decorated with gold garlands, iridescent red and gold balls as well as warm fairy lights. Shoppers instantly felt the magic of Santa’s home as they rode the life size St. Nicholas sleigh. Traditiona­l Christmas market stalls surround the Santa’s Village where shoppers can buy gifts for their loved ones.

Yuletide drama unfurled at SM City Baliwag as it unveiled its 24-foot tall little drummer boy Christmas tree. Shoppers were delighted as they took family and group photos around the uniquely crafted gigantic drums, giant gift box and numerous life-size drummer boy figures. SM City Baliwag’s centerpiec­e reminds shoppers of the reason for the season. It reminded Christ as the reason for celebratio­n through the story of the little drummer boy. As recalled, the little drummer boy was summoned by the Magi to the Nativity of Jesus. The little drummer boy played his drums as a gift for the infant Jesus.

Ecstatic crowds packed the launched of SM City Marilao’s iconic Christmas centerpiec­e. This year’s centerpiec­e was Japanese inspired with modern recreation of the country’s traditiona­l folk-art called Kokeshi dolls. These dolls are centuries-old craft that brings love, happiness, and harmony to families and to loved ones. The handcrafte­d life-size Kokeshi dolls adorned the 20 feet Christmas tree boxes. As tradition dictates, the intricatel­y designed 5ft dolls served as seasonal centerpiec­e in the mall’s busiest atrium. The dolly Christmas centerpiec­e was also more picturesqu­e than usual as host of stunning play of lights brighten it, with a sprinkle of snow.

“SM’s Christmas centerpiec­es are what Bulakeños look forward to as the start of their holiday roll-out” said SM City Marilao Mall Manager Bernadette Velasco.
