THE past years have always had us counting down to the most wonderful time of the year when the 'ber' months roll in; Christmas carols fill the air, dazzling tree lights dot the streets, shopping for gifts becomes a sport and everyone else goes on a diet to make way for Christmas feasts.

This year may not be as festive as previous years, but it will most certainly be more meaningful. SM showed us the most uplifting way to best celebrate the season with '100 Days of Caring,' featuring 100 days of spreading love, thoughtfulness and care for one another and for the communities surrounding our favorite SM malls. The virtual event showcasing the pledges happened on Sept. 16, 2021 over FB Live and WatchSM on YouTube.
