The Christmas Mansion

I used to wish for Davao City to have its own Christmas house just like those in Manila which are often featured on TV. While the city has its large Christmas trees and other lights displays, it lacks a special house which showcases all kinds of decors for the holiday season. There may be some homes in exclusive subdivisions that do have unique collections of Christmas decors (life-size even) but they're not open to the public.

At least for a long time, there was Mana's amazing Christmas display that people from around the city and nearby municipalities visit every year. But that ended when the owners of the antique shop donated their usual budget for the Christmas display to Yolanda victims instead who badly needed help in 2013.

Fortunately, this year my wish was granted and I finally found a Christmas house, a mansion even, right here in our neighborhood. I was really ecstatic when I learned that they have opened the mansion to visitors who want to experience a different kind of Christmas atmosphere. I felt like a child again while touring the house and its surroundings. Sharing with you here some of the photos I took during my visit with my two kids.

By the way,  this Christmas mansion is located in Roseville Subd., Lanang, Davao City. It's in Phase 2 at the back of the chapel.
