San Miguel Beer veteran Arwind Santos showed his creative side anew with the spirit of Christmas slowly approaching amid these trying times.

In fact, aside from playing basketball, Santos is fond of writing down lyrics and creating music in his downtime.

Remember the song "Bagyo" he wrote in 2014? That was a classic example.

This time though, the 39-year-old PBA star spread good vibes and proudly unveiled his creation -- an improvised snowman decoration.

Taking the shape of a snowman, Santos used metal strainers, a few ornaments and wrapped around white Christmas lights to add more details.

"Nung pagkatapos ko pong gawin ito, sobrang natuwa po ako," shared Santos speaking to his followers on Instagram Saturday. "Bago po ako matulog, gusto ko muna siya makita, tignan. Ang sarap po pala ng feeling na ginawa mo 'yung isang dekorasyon na 'yon dito sa loob ng bahay."

The nine-time PBA champion also thanked her daughters and wife Ivette, who also decorated their Christmas tree filled with dangling mini SMB  jerseys, for the positive response.

During the bubble stint in Clark, Pampanga, Santos was one of the few players who had different gimmicks to fight boredom - from vlogging, singing on karaoke and flaunting a mini sari-sari store in competition to Rain or Shine's Beau Belga and Ryan Araña.

But during game time at the Angeles University Foundation Sports and Cultural Center, Santos stepped up and showed his leadership skills as one of the most senior members of the Beermen. 

The 11-time PBA All-Star averaged 13.00 points, 9.91 rebounds, 1.91 assists and 1.00 blocks in 11 games. 

San Miguel's five-year reign in the Philippine Cup came to an end after a 90-68 rout from the Meralco Bolts in the quarterfinals two weeks ago.
