‘Joyful Christmas’ 2011 @Sunway Pyramid

Christmas is just a day to arrive! Let me share with you a beautiful Sunway Pyramid's Christmas story, ‘A Joyful Christmas’ .

The story of ‘A Joyful Christmas’ unleashes in an official launch of Joyful Christmas 2011 @Sunway Pyramid.

Storybook characters walked out of the pages of a gigantic storybook to the Pyramid Concourse, wandering around a magical winter forest made out of tall, brightly lit Christmas trees, a cabin and a sleigh. Reindeers are scattered, looking for food while they wait.

In the story of ‘A Joyful Christmas’ they are waiting for a robin that will bring news of the arrival of Christmas. This story begins in a sleepy town before clocks and chimes were invented and people told time by looking at the sky. Therefore, the people were waiting to see a robin and when they do see one, they will know that Christmas is coming and start preparing for Christmas. This is how robins become a symbol of Christmas.

In the launch of Joyful Christmas 2011 @Sunway Pyramid, a bird, representing the robin, plays the role of Christmas messenger.

"This year, we bring in the concept of a Joyful Christmas because we want to invite our shoppers to be part of our Christmas story which is why we invited the children from two underprivileged homes to have a memorable Christmas with us. We also partnered with the Malaysian Red Crescent society (MRCS) in a fund raising campaign to help Thai flood victims. These are some of the Corporate Social Responsibility projects we initiate this Christmas, " says Mr HC Chan, Chief Executive Officer, Sunway Pyramid in his welcome speech.

Speech by Y.B. Senator Datuk Heng Seai Kie, Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development.

The Christmas messenger brings a message to guest of honour, Y.B. Senator Datuk Heng Seai Kie, Deputy Minister of Women, Family and Community Development.
