The Philippines is said to celebrate the longest Christmas. When "ber " months come which begins at September, the Christmas feeling is also on. We have here the Christmas countdown, the 100 days before Christmas like the one in the picture. (that picture is mine i took it last Sunday, October 2) Christmas decorations are also seen in different places as early as September especially in malls. You can already hear Christmas songs from the day September starts. We have different festivities here everywhere during this season. This morning i already wash our Christmas tree to make it ready for Saturday for putting on the decorations. Why Saturday? Because my daughters will be the one to decorate it. They are still busy with their office jobs until friday. Merry Christmas everyone .... in advance...

I thought the Christmas season came early here but you beat us. Christmas decorations are beginning to appear in malls but after Thanksgiving is when most of us get ready for Christmas.

Yes, indeed, we do this every year. All department stores are alight with Christmas lights already. Sometimes, it takes some getting used to. But it's all fine as long as everyone is happy.

Yeah right. And everyone is getting ready for the planning of Christmas parties, buying gifts this early especially if there are special discounts.

That plan is very far away from my thoughts as of this moment. with so many stuff that came from my aunts over the last few months I doubt I have enough space for the Xmas Tree.

It's alright if there is no Christmas tree as long as you can feel the spirit of Christmas in your heart.

Like the song says “we need a little Christmas, right this very minute”! I think the whole world is in need of all the things Christmas stands for: love, peace, joy and, most of all salvation.

Yeah i agree. Christmas is for the birth of Jesus Christ. So Christmas should not just be for parties and gifts.
