Hi Mr.MM, I have been searching and trying to recall how to make artificial snow for my xmas tree we were at Rustan’s today admiring thier decors and getting ideas on how to do our own decor. I remember during my high school days we used to make artificial snow by adding some amonia to soap suds. I believe that the amonia hardens the soapsuds but I have forgotten the proportion. Any help? thanks

terrey, I have been so busy that I haven’t had time to think about the holidays yet… but it usually is classically decorated, nothing too outlandish… Thanks for visiting the site. With over 1,800 posts in the archives, there’s a lot more for you to browse when you have the free time!

hey Mr. MM, it has been three hours already since I stumbled upon your site and ive been hooked since then. since i love anything and everything that is christmas, i wanted to tell you that you that your christmas tree is very christmassy…hehehe…i didnt know we could actually have one in pinas. as ive said ive read quite a few posts here already, especially those about flowers and foods, and i got the impression that you are a man of affluence yet you don’t brag about it loudly. so much for that, i will be a regular reader from hereon and will be looking forward to reading your posts. i wonder, how would you spruce up your abode this coming christmas :) kudos to you sir!

We have a property in Benguet and have always played with the idea of a Christmas Tree business but am not sure what species of seedlings to plant that would be perfect for our wet Baguio weather. If any of you have that kind of info and where we can get the seedlings, who knows … we may be able to start a tree business for half the price and make wreaths too. Added jobs for the people who live around the area too.

I was browsing for “divisoria” and here I am in your site. We visit the Philippines every year, since 1999, and I am impressed with your site. I will see to it that my friends visit your site. Please keep up these great writings! From Houston, TX

MM,

this is good!!
3,500 pesos/tree- that could be a viable business for people in the mountain provinces.
only if we have fast growing pine tree varieties.
the baguio pine trees takes years to mature and reach 8-10 feet.
to avoid denuding the pine tree clad mountains of SAGADA, we rather use the flowering trees of the maguey plant in our schools and houses.
these maguey “trees” have a nice formation, and they do not have leaves to wilt and clean up after. they last even after crhistmas vacation and they are still standin still with all the decorations in the classrooms.

in SAGADA, we have the pine scent everyday of the year. so no need to bring one in the house.

How appropriate to be reading this post, and looking out my window to suddenly find that it has finally snowed in this city. Frohe Weihnachten, one and all! ;-)
