Mana Davao (Celebrating Christmas in Davao City)

Surrounded by huge Christmas trees with unique theme and design.

Right in the middle of the street haha caused traffic for a minute or 2. Hope that this wont cause us any trouble haha =)
Bright Christmas Lights at Mana Davao

It has been a tradition among many of us during the Christmas season to lighten up our homes with colorful and bright lights and fill it with unique decors as well. Here in Davao, during this time of year, if there is a place somewhere in J.P. Laurel Avenue that would caught your eye and make you stop and stare, Mana Davao (it is known as one of the largest antique store in Davao City) is not an exemption to this tradition. Since 2008, the establishment has been showcasing a display of lights in gigantic Christmas Trees, this is one of the most sought after attractions here in Davao. It has become a landmark during Christmas here in the city and has been visited by thousands of foreign and local tourists. Christmas has a magic on its own. When you see bright lights or hear Carols and Christmas Songs, it would somehow make you forget all your worries and would never fail to bring out the child in you. There are also mascots of different cartoon characters that would entertain visitors. There is no admission fee whatsoever, so everyone is welcome to come and visit.




This is just a picture of the crowd in Mana. People from all walks of life come here to witness the beautiful lights display. Everyone has been very busy taking pictures all over the place.

Angry Birds Balloons are all over the place. Vendors and also keeping their way with the crowd. 










With Hannah, Chel and Sheng (our all around PA-joke lang LOL)

Our Happy Feet!! The sisters are back... Together again! We still have our crazy moments together just like the old days :)
