The idea was a big hit as revellers who were visiting the mall loved it and took to it instantly. The \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcWhite Santa\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 carried the message of asking people to deal in white money and appealed to them to say no to black money.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">There were also several placards put up in the mall with messages like \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcSay No to Black Money\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 along with an array of beautifully designed posters that requested people to deal in white money. But one of the most famous attractions was a quirky placard of a Rs. 2000 note that is currently the talk of the town.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Speaking about the unique celebrations, <strong><em>Vikas Shetty, Mall Head, Growel\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s 101 Mall<\/em><\/strong><em> said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Christmas is the time when everyone gets in the festive spirit and mood. It is also a time when we can decide to do something positive or adopt a good change if it comes our way. We thought instead of the usual celebrations, this year we could appeal to people to adjust to the move of demonetisation and look at it in a positive manner. The idea of the White Santa appealed to all our visitors\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"line-height: 1.5;\">The mall also held a special Christmas carol singing session.
