Christmas time! but nothing like in the city!
When the ber-months finally set in, you can't help but notice the lights! the blues, reds and neons....at the malls, the roads, streets even houses. They all lit up at nighttime with all those christmas stars, lanterns, reindeers, santas, candy canes and giant christmas trees. The city is alive and electric on Christmas!
I love spending the season in the metropolitan and gawk at what seems to be a contest for the best lighted street, or the most-decorated malls. Its nice to stay up late at this time of the year, the atmosphere really is festive! My special favorite is the city of Makati, with its large concentration of malls, no nook and cranny is dark at night. And talking 'bout lights, the Ayala Triangle tops 'em all!!
 |
| Along Ayala Avenue in the midst of the city lies an open green space - the Triangle. All year round it serves as an oasis in the middle of the Makati skycraper jungle. a nice place to stroll, breathe air, jog, laze around and eat! During christmas, the whole park lights up! lights dancing to the tune of old christmas carols to what makes out to be an entertaining Light and sound show! |
 |
| Now the strollers are given a treat every night starting November? or even much earlier. The show starts at 7 pm, runs every 30 minutes up to 9 pm. |
 |
It can get really get exciting when the show starts. The only downside to it is the relentless traffic. But nevertheless, kids from all ages, 1 month to 90-plus years, come and enjoy the show!
Wait till the whole park is lit up in alternating colors: red, blue, green, gold - looks like something straight out from pixieland! |
 |
| Absolutely magical, like melting lights |
|
AND did I mention it was free??? yup, just stroll around!
 |
| Or stars scattered densely in the night |
 |
| Awashed in red light |
 |
| Now in cool blues |
 |
| In red and green while jingle bell rock played |
 |
| To green and white and shooting lights! |
Now if christmas spirit is represented by light...it'll be a rainbow. Merry Christmas to all!
