A RICH Dubai housewife has shared a glimpse of what her Christmas will be like this year. Linda Andrade, 25, and her husband Ricky, became parents this year with their 10-month-old daughter Amira, and Linda plans to throw her a Christmas she won't forget.

But of course, as a housewife, Linda doesn't plan to spend her own money on the festive day, instead, she'll be waiting for Ricky to hand out the cheques. Speaking to the MailOnline, Linda, who lives between LA and Dubai revealed she would be expecting 10-carat diamond earrings from De Beers which cost £200,000 in her stocking.

The pair, who plan to spend Christmas Day in Dubai will head to the shopping malls after opening presents. Linda reveals she plans to get their daughter a new wardrobe of Dior clothes and shoes, and of course, jewellery. She said: "Honestly, her jewellery is more important to me than her education, because if you're rich, beautiful and smart you won't have to work for a living.

"And as I have told Ricky, in Arab countries it's practically illegal for a little girl not to wear gold jewellery from birth.". When Amira was first born the couple spent $3,000 (£2,400) on a solid gold pacifier and $6,000 on a Dior stroller. In the same outing, they also bought her $30,000 (£24,000) of treats from Tiffany's, her first collection of luxe designs.
While Dubai is mainly a Muslim country, Linda says they often go all out for Christmas as they love an excuse to celebrate. "Though it's the capital of a Muslim state and quite religiously strict, Dubai knows how to do Christmas... perhaps because Arabs appreciate gold so much. Instead of red and green, we go for gold baubles, tinsel, stars and lights," she said.
