Mariah Carey may be Hollywood's Queen of Christmas, but Kapuso actress Manilyn Reynes could very well be the Philippines's Queen of Christmas because she has quite a Christmas village collection.

Despite the challenging time that the world is facing right now, the Kapuso actress wanted to carry on the tradition of putting Christmas decors at home for the holiday season. She told hosts Camille Prats and Iya Villania, “Totoo na ang hirap ng pinagdadaanan natin, hind ba? Pero pinag-uusapan naming mag-asawa. Sabi ni Aljon sa'kin, 'But you know what, hon? Ang daming pinagdadaanan, ang daming pagbabago pero, you know, Pasko at pagmamahalan, hindi magbabago 'yan, 'di ba?'” Nativity scene with an angel flying on top / Source: Mars Pa More She also added “Ang importante 'yung mapaptuloy natin 'yung diwa ng Pasko, hindi lang sa bahay, lalo na sa hearts natin.” Manilyn revealed that it usually takes her around one and a half to two days to set up her Christmas Village collection for display. According to her, one of the advantages of staying at home is that she had time to decorate her home early for the holidays. She and her family actually started decorating this year as early as September. Manilyn also shared hat her decorating process has two steps: extensive planning and the actual decorating. She said she usually maps out a plan first on where to put each Christmas décor, days before actually decorating it. And although she wants to do all the decorating herself, she knows she can't do it all on her own. So, she enlisted the help of their children and other people in their household.
