Christmas 2008 In Some Philippine Cities/Provinces (Angeles City)
Pampanga Mall Makes Fairy Tale True For Children
SM CLARK, ANGELES CITY- These children could not conceal their happiness when they saw with their own eyes a life-sized gingerbread house that previously they knew existed only in fairy tales.
The house stands 15-foot high and stretches up to 22 feet.
Although it is made out of pure wood it looks tasty and appealing especially to children because of the giant lollipops, candy canes, gingerbread dolls and other large-sized candies, biscuits, cookies and chocolates alongside.
Every year the mall’s management puts up a Christmas figure to deliver its promise of making their mall a magical place for kids and their families.
Furthermore, through their “dress-up your own gingerbread doll” they would be providing donations to needy children under the care of the City Social Welfare and Development.
This giant gingerbread house, they hope, will leave a sweet memory not only to children but to everyone else as the global financial crisis seems to affect each one.
