Our tree has been up for quite a few days now. Can you feel the holidays yet?

Thanks Celine. Christmas is really celebrated early here in the Philippines.

When I was a child I remember we place Christmas decors in September. Children will sing Christmas carols in the street til Christmas.

But with globalization, decors are now placed after Halloween. We didn't celebrate Halloween a decade ago. =)

You celebrate Halloween over there? That's fascinating. I didn't realize that holiday had grown that much.

Thanks for the info about how you celebrate Christmas. It's interesting to learn how different countries & cultures celebrate. And how globalization affects it. :)

Yes, now kids (and kids at heart) do trick-or-treat-ing.

Also, certain malls here are celebrating Thanksgiving! That's commercialism for yah. They always find a way to let you spend spend spend.

Yeah, our Christmas is the longest in the world. It extends up to January. =)
