This is the second year that the owners opened the Christmas mansion to the public. The Roseville residents, myself included, are among the first to enjoy this wonderful place last year.

Roseville Christmas Mansion: A Christmas Wonderland
The most wonderful time of the year has come and the best destination to bring your family and friends as early as now is the Roseville Christmas Mansion. The place is truly a Christmas wonderland that brings a different kind of happiness to everyone (kids and adults alike) who goes there and it's the only one here in Davao City. Lucky for me as I live just a stone's throw from this mansion.
This is the second year that the owners opened the Christmas mansion to the public. The Roseville residents, myself included, are among the first to enjoy this wonderful place last year.
Owner Frances Quilban said her goal of opening her home and making it a Christmas wonderland is to give back to the community and share her blessings. "Let's be merry this Christmas!" she added.

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.

What Christmas is Like in Davao City
The holiday season is a great time to be in Davao City. The city is alive with colorful lights and unique Christmas decorations spread out in different areas. Fireworks are not allowed here but the show of these bright lights are enough to provide a happy atmosphere throughout the holidays.
Various spots can be visited to enjoy a display of lights and local ingenuity. I'm sharing here the most popular areas where local residents and visitors often flock to.
Mana, the Antique Shop, never fails to wow its visitors every year. For many years now, the owner always hires designers to come up with grand and extraordinary decorations as his way of spreading love and happiness during the Christmas season.
Davao City Hall along San Pedro Drive also makes it a point to hang lighted parols (lanterns) on the trees in front of the building and other colorful decorations.
People's Park along Camus and Palma Gil Streets boasts of its own unique Christmas display each year. The fountain area is a popular attraction inside the park.
I'm glad to be here in Davao City as I get to experience this great Christmas atmosphere each year. I hope you'll spread the word and I wish you all a fruitful 2013!
