The cottage itself is
an attraction already from afar. It's a dream house for kids and kids at heart
who love Christmas.
This 3-storey
Victorian house is the first Christmas-themed establishment in the Philippines.
It’s the only place where Christmas is celebrated every day.
On the ground floor, you'll find a lot of Precious Moments collectibles
for sale. You'll find pins, dolls, cute figurines and posters and other themed
collections. The designs are unique and so is the price! :P
This is not the
Christmas museum yet, but you will see that they also decorated it with
Christmas theme and it actually gave you that feeling.
It said to feature of collections of
extensive, electric and highly-specialized Christmas items. If offers a journey
of how Christmas is celebrated around the world. I was kind of sad when I saw
the under maintenance sign.
I just content myself
in taking pictures of the figurines, trying to control myself from buying
because they are really expensive.
The dolls displayed at
the stores are unique too! They clothes are designed and made by the staff.
They are so tiny and detailed, and I know it's not very easy to make them.
Maybe that's one of the reasons why the dolls are expensive too.
When you go further
behind, there are even collectible dolls of the late President Corazon Aquino,
her husband, Ninoy Aquino and their kids. I didn’t see any other Philippine
President figurines.
Festival-themed dolls are located just left of where the dolls of the Aquino dolls are.
I read from other
blogs that you can also explore the mansion of Mr. Butcher, but I can't confirm
that. I didn't ask because even if we can, we don't have time and it's already
late.
The Php50.00 entrance
fee you will pay at the gate is consumable and you can use to buy at the coffee
shop inside the cottage or if you want to use it to buy a figurine, then you'll
just have to pay the excess.
The cottage is located
inside Sampaguita Gardens and open from 9:00 to 9:00pm daily. No tour guide, so
you'll have to explore on your own.
