This year Le Meridien New Delhi
embarked on a remarkable journey to encourage everyone in the city to share
their moments of happiness. A unique campaign – Share your #momentsofhappiness,
has already set the tone to Christmas celebrations in the hotel this year.

The central point of the
celebration is the Happiness Tree, an artistic installation with 96 screens
depicting images of happy moments, decorated with cold LED lights and equipped
with two large LED screens which will display moments of happiness as shared by
our guests and the community at large.
The installation was unveiled by
H.E. Major General Vetsop Namgyel, the Ambassador of Bhutan in India, a country
that pioneered the concept of Happiness Index and conducts the well known Gross
National Happiness to map the nation’s progress. Ambassador Namgyel shared some
insights on how Bhutan topped the list of world’s happiest countries for many
years.
 Le Meridien New Delhi also invited thirty
underprivileged children under the care of Concern India Foundation to sing the
happiness song and be part of the celebrations of lighting up the Christmas
tree in an effort to touch the lives of those who have never known the joyous
occasion of Christmas.
The online campaign
#momentsofhappiness was designed to enthuse people of the city and the
community to share their stories of happiness, anything that makes a person
love his life more and with every hashtag
that the hotel’s social media handles receive, the hotel ensures the
presence of that many underprivileged children for a special Christmas feast
for them.
The special Christmas tree is a
symbol of happiness and through this tree the hotel management encourages its
associates, guests and community at large to share happiness and embrace
positivity.
Each of the story that is shared buys a moment of happiness for a
person who may be deprived of it.
The UN resolution in 2011
recognizes the pursuit of happiness as a fundamental human goal as well as the
need for a more inclusive, equitable and balanced approach to economic growth
that promotes sustainable development, poverty eradication, happiness and the
well being of all people.
