Farida’s Christmas Home

We have been to Farida De Cadiz’ home a couple of times (specially during fiestas) but I wasn’t aware she was collecting all sorts of Christmas decor – Santa Clauses, snowmen, Christmas trees, etc. – so I was pleasantly surprised when I saw a news feature on local TV showcasing her Christmas Home.

Wow! What a Christmas wonderland!

And so a photoshoot was set for the leysamfoto photographers to cover Farida’s Christmas Home!

December 21 we descended upon her residence at Salazar St. and here’s the bounty we got:

  2. I really enjoyed these photos. Especially loved the Santa in the barong. The best of the lot, I think. Your photos of the huge tree at the Rizal plaza were great, too. Told my folks about your earlier photos of the DPWH area. They went out there to see it firsthand and had a fun time. Coincidentally, my mother actually remembers you from her student teaching days. My mother always says she usually only remembers 2 types of students – the smart ones and the very challenging ones. Merry Christmas! :-)
