With the Christmas eve around the corner and the city basking under its celebrations, the creative community of Le Meridien and Visit Finland decided to usher in the spirit of Christmas with a difference. Realising the urgent need to sensitize people about the rapid degradation of our mother earth, Le Meridien fashioned a special fourteen feet tall Christmas tree.
Aptly titled A Tree Uncut, the event was marked by the official Santa Claus coming all the way from Lapland, the homeland of Santa, to spread good cheer and his special green message to children and adults present. The event was a curtain raiser for the fortnight long celebrations in the hotel leading upto Christmas.
Commenting on the celebration, Meena Bhatia, VP – Operations and Marketing, Le Meridien New Delhi, said, 'We like to do new perspective events so that our guests have a great experience.
Inviting Santa Claus from Lapland is indeed a special experience and coupled with a special Christmas tree made of used newsprint, we hope that this Christmas will bring joy and awareness for a greener tomorrow. We also encourage our guests to bring in old toys and books so that Santa can distribute them to various charities in the city.'
The celebrations kick started with welcome of the Santa Claus from Lapland, who came accompanied by beautiful carol singing girls.
Santa unveiled a 14 feet tall Christmas tree made up of used newspapers collected in the hotel over a period of 15 days. Illuminated by cold LEDs, the 14 feet Christmas Cheer was created by associates of the hotel in fifteen days to lend an art and aesthetic focus to the motto of 'Reduce – Reuse – Recycle’.
Santa lauded Le Meridien’s effort to spread the message of a green Christmas by urging everyone to reduce wastage and recycle goods. He also cut a twelve feet long traditional Christmas cake in the midst of loud cheers.
