The following post is a contribution from a dear friend, Debbie. In My Life Joys, I shared about Christmas villages, which had attracted some readers to post questions and for some to share valuable information. I’m a newbie when it comes to collecting these Christmas Villages, hence Debbie has come forward to share her passion in anything Christmas specially her little houses. I am so grateful for this wealth of information and it is with great hope that people who share the same passion will be inspired to achieve a similar success.
The Christmas Season has always been one of my favorite times of the year. Since I was small I am fascinated by anything connected to Christmas. Aside from the usual family gatherings, I love the Christmas decorations. We used to have different home-made Christmas trees every year. When I was in college, I took over the decorating from my mother. My favorite Christmas tree that I made was one that was made from seaweeds that is ingenious to my hometown. Sadly, when my mother passed away and I was very busy with work, I was forced to buy synthetic Christmas trees. I always had very difficult times sourcing good quality trees and ornaments because I do not settle for the usual found in the department stores.
When I started working, I began collecting Santa Claus especially those by Mr. Christmas and angels. Unfortunately, after a few years, I could not find any more good quality Santa. The Philippine distributor of Mr. Christmas items stopped importing them because they have become so expensive. For the last six years I also have been collecting nativity sets.

Some people say that Christmas is just for kids. That when we get older, we tend to look at it more as a consumerism mafia. The glee of celebrating this global occasion seem to fade as the clock ticks to adulthood, unlike those of children’s who still believe in Santa Claus, flying reindeer, Christmas stockings, and elves . Apart from the real reason it is celebrated, the birth of Christ, another reason I personally associate with this season is giving, gratitude, and a celebration of the family. It is one of the busiest times when overseas Filipino workers (OFW) plan to come home and be with their loved ones.
With the level of enthusiasm dwindling down for me, I tried seeking for ways to revive the excitement beyond green wreathes, red poinsettias, and glittery lights. So here, I was opened to a new level of joy with the Lemax Christmas Village Collection.
Christmas in the Philippines starts on September 1. Yeah, really… so don’t be so surprised if you’d hear Christmas songs over the radio 
I was excited to see the collections in Kaluxe (located at 2nd Floor of Robinson’s Forums in Pioneer, Edsa) that I wanted a whole village already. So I was able to contain myself and had it slow… For my first piece, here it is, The Olde Theatre. This is part of the Caddington Village Collection in the lighted category.
Lemax also has other themes such as Spooky Town (halloween), Harvest Crossing, Carnival, Plymouth Corners (seaside), Santa’s Wonderland (christmas), Vail Village, General Products (trees, bridges, etc.), and lot more other Christmas village collections.
