    Happy Christmas!

    On my first trip to the Philippines in october 08 I was surprised to see Christmas trees up already. I was told Christmas starts in September because it has a "ber" at the end like December

    Anybody's Christmas celebrations starting already with it being September 1st?

    Christmas songs playing in our home this morning, I was feeling happy that Christmas will be here soon but then I realized I won't be spending Christmas here at home

    Yes, I, too, was surprised to see the malls stocked with Christmassy items during my first trip to the Phils in early September 2008. Then ... when I arrived again, two months later, the seasonal festivities were in full swing!

    It was the begining of last week when I was talking to my mahal on yahoo. When she moved I saw what looked like a christmas tree in her house, I said to her, 'that isn't a christmas tree is it?' and she said yes, we start early in phils. It wasn't even September ...... it was August

    My wife gets excited as soon as it’s the first ‘ber’
    I’ve been in the Philippines twice at Christmas time & New Year.
    I do enjoy the Philippine Christmas and the Church programes.The atmosphere is so wonderful .
    New Year celebrations are a once in a lifetime experience!!!!!!
    The way those firecrackers get tossed about is just not for me!!!! I definitely need to wear my brown corduroy trousers!
