Filipinos Start Christmas in September
 |
| Giant lanterns in the form of candy treats hang at the Grand Atrium of the Shangri-la Plaza Mall in Mandaluyong City last Christmas (2011). The mall features a unique theme every year. I wonder what their theme would be this Christmas? |
The dance of a million fairies... oops, they're just "dancing" Christmas lights hanging from the trees in the Ayala Triangle Gardens. This was taken last year (2011).
It's weird! I know. Filipinos go all-out in celebrating Christmas. Whenever the the start of the "ber" months (i.e., Septem-ber, Octo-ber, November-ber, and Decem-ber) arrive, you'll start seeing signs of Christmas. Hence, the longest Christmas celebration in the entire world happens here in the Philippines (unofficially of course, but hey, you see it's really more fun in the Philippines!). My neighbor without fail for 5 years now (since they moved in next door) put up their Santa Claus, poinsettia wreaths, and Filipino Christmas lanterns every September 1. Also, would you believe that radio programs would start playing "jingle bells" and other Christmas carols, and begin their "countdown" to Christmas in September? Totally weird, right? There must be an explanation!
