A few Christmases ago, I asked my aunt what my younger cousin wanted for Christmas.

Just in time for the holidays, a major department-store chain has brought in an Italian line of fine cutlery and kitchen implements perfect as gifts for homemakers and kitchen enthusiasts alike.

Make this coming Christmas season extra special by spending it with your family in the comforts of your home.
What is your Christmas wish? When we were kids, our answer may have been, “I want Santa to give me a new Barbie doll!” or “Nintendo!”

The best music this Christmas season is from MCA Music (Universal Music Philippines).
It’s that time of year again when we all get to play Santa Claus. As I grow older, I debate whether to just have a signature gift or to reinvent my yuletide basket of goods annually. Of course the latter is far more fun and offers an excellent excuse for shopaholics.

This Christmas season when we tend to share in our most fabulous and grandest gesture we could think of for our loved ones, what could we possibly give them that they would definitely never have enough of? There’s love, and of course, chocolates.

Christmas is all about color, fantasy and nostalgia that hark back to the ’50s at Shelter, which recently ushered in the holiday season with a mini show directed by veteran TV director Fritz Ynfante, and featuring college students from De La Salle University.

Philippine Airlines will launch a pioneering service between Manila and Toronto on Nov. 30, 2012, giving the flag carrier a direct link to Canada’s largest city and its first gateway on the vital East Coast of North America in 15 years.

Well, there’s no getting away from the season of giving. So, if you’re looking for a perfect holiday gift for your foodie friends, grab these lip-smacking food books and they will thank you no end.
