Reviving the “COD” christmas tradition

The COD Christmas show now in Greenhills
I remember when I was a child (like 10-15 years ago) my dad used to take the family to Cubao to buy toys as our christmas gifts, but what I remember most is the automated christmas show. People would gather up the streets of Cubao, facing up the facade of the famous COD department store, the stage where the ultimate “Christmas Show” would start. As a child I was really in awe of those moving robots, the lightshow, music and especially those flying spaceships! Just wow! It has been somewhat a tradition for us to see what COD has in their sleeves. And I think it was really popular back then that a lot of commercial brands started sponsoring the event and would plaster their banners on every contraption of the stage. Somehow, after the years (maybe because of those commercial banners) the show just wasn’t that good anymore. A few years back I was saddened to hear that they have decided to shut the “Christmas Show” down, since COD could no longer fund it.
