In the final part of our Tiffany & Co. Christmas series, Daphne Chen-Cordeiro speaks to Cheryl Wee and her sister Rachel about their family's traditions, the true meaning of Christmas, and the values that they want to pass on to their children Marc, Emma and Ellery
Dearest Mei,
Merry Christmas as a first-time mum with baby Ellery. I’m so proud of you and how far we have come as sisters, as childhood friends, and now as mothers.
Everything about Christmas is always cheery and magical. Now that we both have young children, I’m excited about reliving our childhood with them and creating new traditions for our own family.
I love how Papa is huge on Christmas, and he’ll always be the one getting the house ready with the Christmas tree, ornaments, and décor. Mama will always be baking fruit cake and on Christmas Eve, she’ll always cook up a storm.
Remember when we were younger, Mama would bring us to toy stores and shop for presents for other kids, so that we understand the spirit of giving and sharing during this festive season?
