Early Holidays with Ayala’s Yuletide Ceremony & SM Christmas Tree Lighting |

Christmas @ Ayala Avenue

Just right after the recent three-day weekend, Ayala Land immediately opened up November with a holiday celebration and yuletide ceremonfay by lighting up the streets of Ayala Avenue, Paseo De Roxas, and Makati Avenue.

The holiday cheers immediately spread at the tick of 6pm last November 3, 2010 as Ayala Land Vice-President and Head of the Strategic Landbank Management Group, Meean Dy, pressed the button symbolizing this year’s start of Ayala Land’s Christmas tradition.
