There is nothing like Christmas in the Philippines. For many countries, Christmas is just one day of the year where you get a time-off for holidays. For Filipinos, Christmas is a season. It starts from the 1stof September and ends in January 6 (feast of the 3 kings or the epiphany) – the longest Christmas celebration in the world!
When the “ber” months finally start, Filipinos would start their daily countdown to Christmas. Malls will be decorated with numerous colourful Christmas decorations and shimmering lights, tall Christmas trees will be adorned with creative designs (some even have their own theme) and streets will be lined with star-shaped lanterns called “parol”. The air will also be filled with Christmas carols and the festive ambiance is felt everywhere.
