Christmas Village


During the holidays, we stayed in Tagaytay and we went to CrossWinds - Swiss Luxury Resort to visit the Christmas Village they are bragging about.  It turned out that you cannot go inside unless you are a property owner.  Since we are not a property owner, we were introduced to a Property Officer who would tour us inside to show us the properties they are selling.

 

The sign to the "Christmas Village" is so inviting that K1 was so insistent to see what is in store for little kids like him and his brother K2.  Look at the bigger than life-sized tin soldiers --
 


And the gigantic snow globe --

 

We drove inside the Village and after a few ups and downs, literally since the property is hilly, we saw "Santa's House" --


Hubby and I was a bit disappointed since there is really no "Christmas Village" inside but the lone "Santa's House".  When they turned on the lights, K1 and K2 started running like crazy until they were allowed to go inside where they saw lots of toys.  Here are some pictures I managed to take with my phone.  Too bad I forgot to bring my camera.  K1 took the mic and started singing to his heart's desire and to K2's protestations.  He even wore the boxing gloves and claimed that he is Manny Pacquiao.






Santa's Chair! The kiddos were wondering where Santa is


A scale railroad tracks hanging from the ceiling


While it is a disappointment for us adults not to see a "Christmas Village", K1 and K2 were so happy to be inside "Santa's House" where they saw lots of eye candies.  Now, the kiddos think of Santa's House as a haven for toys!  We just have to remind them every so often that they have to be good boys for Santa to send them toys on Christmases to come!
