Rustan’s chairman and CEO Nedy Tantoco says that what makes Christmas sweetest for her is getting together with the whole family. “We’re very close-knit and for my father, it’s a very important requirement," she says. “We should all be with him on Christmas Eve even our children studying abroad come home for that.”
