“A Christmas Tail” was the super-entertaining and moving holiday play presented by SM Seaside City Cebu during its tree lighting event.

The story: A little prince wanted to redeem the light of Christmas by looking for a blue tail-feather which symbolizes light. Once he gets the feather, Christmas will be saved. The journey was quite successful with the prince getting help from his mystical friends, who gave him different colored feathers until he finally found the blue one that lights up Christmas in their kingdom.

The amazing tree is designed in hues of blue, embellished with peacock feathers at the base. Truly a sight to see!

This fantasy theme was enjoyed by all, me included! SM really brought the spirit of love happiness, peace and light to all!

Enjoy the “Sparkling SM Mallidays!”
