My friends always tease me that I celebrate Christmas so early, apparently, there is someone who is even earlier than me! My Mom! 🙂 I came from her house last night and she had her Christmas tree set up already! Every year she sets up her tree by end of September
She changes her theme every year and Rustan’s Flower shop mixes and matches all the decor that she has which doesn’t mean having to buy everything new every year
How cute the penguins 🙂
We had dinner and it was also already christmas table setting!
And I realize, it’s because we are all in the retail business where Christmas planning starts very early because it’s the biggest season of the year. Everyone prepares for it and when I was also in the department store and flower shop, I remember doing all of this and Christmas did start in September officially though you can imagine that the buying really starts as early as March! Now it is Mom and my sister, Maricar, who are behind the beautiful Rustan’s Flower Shop

Used to love just looking at the shop windows of Rustans during Xmas when I was still in Manila. Love it!
i always find interesting things here! (: …things i never find in other stores/specialty shops. the designs are utterly irresistible! very hard to keep my decorexia under control (:
Dear Ms. Rica,
Looking through these pictures bring a lot of wonderful memories. I would always associate RFS with the happiest years of my stay in RCC – I super love that department and would always remember the people I’ve worked with.
Year after year, the Christmas windows of Rustan’s never ceases to amaze me. It makes the legendary traffic in Ayala Avenue 🙂 more bearable. Kudos to Ross Morante and his team.
Cheers,
Len
Ms Tugado, oh my gosh! that is right!!! 🙂 Always happy memories! 🙂
