Lakwatsera Mom: A Memory Revisited at SM CITY NORTH EDSA North Pole Christmas

When I was just a little kid, the one thing I could remember that I anticipated most every year is Christmas. Because as a little girl, I enjoy going out with playmates and sing Christmas carols to neighboring houses, having to wait for Christmas eve is just as surprising as it is with any child. Christmas brings back many Childhood memories of loving , giving and sharing. But if there is one thing that I regret not having is going to mall having Christmas displays and exhibits. What we used to do when I was small is shop for a new dress for me to wear on our Christmas party at school.And that would be the signal that yuletide season is so near.

Where do we shop? Just sharing.. We used to live at Q.C SM North Edsa. During those times, SM NORTH EDSA is the only mall we could conveniently go to. Every Sundays after going to church, we would automatically go to SM NORTH EDSA and do shopping. A lot of childhood memories are made here.

And now that I'm married and have kids too! I am doing the same things with my kids. I will bond with them more! And though we are currently residing at the Cubao area, nothing can stop me from visiting SM North Edsa once in a while. And just recently I noticed , bigger improvements have paved way to SM CITY North Edsa's development as one of the shopping and family destinations these year.


My previous visit to SM NORTH EDSA was last October. I decided to meet an elementary/childhood friend there and afterwards me and my kids decided to take a walk at SM Bridgeway . They enjoyed the Halloween displays more than I do. Good things is, I have my camera with me all the time so I got to take some fun shots with my kids. (see photos here).

And now that Christmas time is so near, I am suggesting that you and love ones visit SM City North Edsa to experience Northpole Christmas. This time no plane tickets required!

NorthPole Christmas is SM CITY North Edsa’s Gift to its loyal shoppers. With over 6 stations to stop from,  I know your shopping and mall time will be all day times the laughter and enjoyment you and your family will be getting once line up and take picture in every station!

I personally choose to visit SM CITY NORTH EDSA when it comes to their fabulous and so “Christmassy” (if ever there is such a word, lol) Christmas displays because it was really an effort for them to make their customers to feel that we don’t have to wait till Christmas Day to feel and see that we can experience a “North Pole Christmas” right her e in the Northern part of the metro. What else do we have look for , everything is here at SM CITY NORTH EDSA, SHOPPING and a tourist spot destination as well!
Hope to see some of you guys here at SM CITY NORTH EDSA and share smiles while visiting all the 6 Christmas displays here at NORTH POLE CHRISTMAS!

Ifyou guys want to take peek at how exciting for you and most especially for the kids , Photos of North Pole Christmas Display are here, shots were taken during the day and night as well! Now you have the option to visit at daytime or night time or both!

Happy and Merry “NORTH POLE” Christmas everyone!!!
