I was beaming like a little kid when we visited the Christmas Village at the Crosswinds Swiss Luxury Resort. The whole property is but a parcel of the 100-hectare residential pine estate inspired by the Swiss countryside located at the breeziest area of Tagaytay City, Philippines. The pine trees and pine scent were a welcome respite to my senses.

I have long been wanting to come visit this property and yesterday I got it crossed out from my bucket list. What's more? I had first hand experience on lantern lifting. It was so much fun. I was a little challenged the first time but the second and third one was a breeze. I could be a lantern lighter and lifter and I'd die happy. Haha! Oh yeah, I can only wish I could own a house at Crosswinds. I liked how quiet the place was, so serene and the thought of having a convenience store named "The Finds Village Store" excites me to no end. The view of rolling hills and beautifully landscaped properties, offer a welcome view to city-dwellers like me.
