Vigan's Heritage
Village is a discipline zone. It is a regulated place. If one will go
here, one can notice that there are no dangling wires seen at the street
and also, no motorized vehicles and only the calesas are
allowed.
The city wants to just maintain the architectural and cultural
harmony of the place, thus regulations. For this Christmas, I think
there must be a rule too. Christmas decorations at the Vigan Heritage Village need not to be
overdone. Everyone must be aware that what is too much can lead to
imbalance.
For the Heritage Village, the highlight is always the ancestral
houses. Overdoing Christmas decorations could overshadow the optimum
beauty of the city which can be seen in its simplest setting. As I went
to this area on a high noon, I have this smile in my heart and somehow
very glad that it is Christmas everywhere and I am seeing it at the
heritage village.
Many people prefer to have the grandest Christmas decorations given that
they have the means but for this case, the simplicity of the
decorations is itself enough to feel the touch of the Christmas spirit.
The white Christmas decorations that are hanging at the old houses were
just perfect to maintain the simplicity and the beauty of the place. Too
much of them with different colors could be an eye sore to the place.
I have tried imagining putting a lot of colorful decorations at this
street and it doesn't really look good even at the pictures of
my imagination.
What is simple could be the best. I would always prefer the white
decorations and adding more of it could already alter the beauty of the
place which comes from the very simple concepts.
At the Vigan Heritage Village, simplicity is a virtue and the simple
decorations can already speak a lot that the old street is enjoying the
spirit of Christmas. Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone!
