Kids and kids-at-heart are expected to enjoy an enchanting Christmas at all SM malls nationwide starting this weekend, November 6 to 8, with well-loved cartoon and toy characters joining the launch revelries of SM’s Grand Christmas celebration.

Festivities start at SM North EDSA on Friday, November 6, where all-time favorite Disney characters will be present during the launch of “A Season of Magic”. To make the event more meaningful, children from a selected beneficiary will be given a chance to personally meet Disney characters Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, and have a first peek at the main attraction –  the Disney Village. A medley of favorite Disney songs will be performed by the Manila Philharmonic Orchestra and the Mandaluyong Children’s Choir.

Throughout the weekend, the fun continues with other malls all over the country simultaneously launching their own Christmas centerpieces featuring various animated characters and Christmas themes. These include Disney’s Frozen, Barbie, Cartoon Network, Toy Factory and 100 Elves, Snoopy and Charlie Brown, Nickelodeon, Disney Princess, Disney Junior, Adventure Time, Lego Christmas Adventure, and Sanrio Holiday, among others.

According to Jonjon San Agustin, SM Supermalls’ Senior Vice-President for Marketing,“We are just as excited as children everywhere as SM officially starts the holiday with our biggest themed Christmas celebrations yet. Christmas at our malls is for kids and the young at heart, so we have gathered the most number of cartoon and comic character themes everin our 55 malls nationwide.  Each mall will be decorated with giant installations and picture-worthy pockets of Christmas fun that will form part of kids’ memories until they become parents themselves.”

Although these attractions will be open to the public throughout the Christmas season, the public is enjoined to bring their families, kids, relatives and friends to enjoy the weekend launch activities at any SM mall.

For a complete schedule of activities and launches, please go to SM’s official Christmas microsite, follow its official social media accounts at Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and get an insider access to all the fun happenings at SM Supermalls nationwide through Viber. Shoppers can actively share their holiday merriments inside the SM Supermalls by posting their photos on social media and adding the hashtag #MerrySMChristmas2015.

a great week ahead

mum + me

hello again everyone! it’s the start of another week + i am wishing you will have a great one ahead…

last week was sort of busy in our end. mum has to leave on tuesday + friday for some events she has to attend + left me to my tito ken’s care. she went home quite late that the moment she arrived i was on my way to dreamland.

on thursday, though, mum made up for her absences + brought me to activefun (it was my third time to go there, but it did not make the experience less fun!). we played there for several hours + i really enjoyed it. i will post some of the photos in a while. mum was suppose to go to this tribute party for her favorite band, incubus, but decided against it + played with me instead. i can’t wait to share the stories with you, but that can wait till the next post…

on sunday, we are off again, to sm city north edsa again, but this time, mum watched the harry potter movie. tito dennis, mum’s cousin who happens to be my ninong too, joined us that afternoon. i can’t go with them to the cinema, though, since i am not old enough, plus voldemort does give me the creeps. one scary chap that one is, if you ask me!

we ate in kenny rogers first before mum left for the cinema (see the photo above). i simply love their chicken soup + i’d always eat a lot whenever we go there. i also enjoyed the iced tea, but mum made sure to give me just a little sip of it, just so i can taste it.

mum and baby

it was tita cecille who looked after me when mum left to watch the film. we just roamed around the mall, which was packed with people at the time, since there is a mall-wide sale going on. after several hours of roaming around, i was really tired + sleepy (check out my 2nd photo).

the grown ups did a little windowshopping while i admired the letters “e” displayed in one of the shop’s windows. mum bought some stuffs including an orange shirt for me (which i shall be posting here soon).

it was a tiring but enjoyable day + i look forward to our next adventure!

so how was your weekend? i hope you had a great one 😉
