Its Christmas in Manila

Actually, the first few sightings of Christmas trees here was in late September. Now theyre flooded everywhere. Malls, restaurants, hotels.. even my condo lobby has been decorated with Christmas lights and ornaments. Not, that I have anything against it. I just find it kind of odd because its never like this back in the states. The states usually jumps from Halloween, to Thanksgiving, to Christmas, then to New Years. Basically, whatever the stores and malls can throw a sale and take advantage of.

It’s nice see the anticipation and excitement of the people here. From what I hear, Christmas is supposed to be one of the most lively and fun times of the year here. Family’s are all celebrating, people are lighting fireworks on the streets, the malls are jammed pack, kids run around drunk from the Christmas wine… My filipino american friends tell me it has at least 3 times the buzz of the celebrations in the US. I can already feel it brewing.

    Hi Errol! Yup, Christmas here is one of the most festive celebrations in the world. Some say that the Christmas holiday in the Philippines is the longest in the world (starting in September and ending on Valentine’s) but I think that’s an exaggeration.

    It’s true that the “air of Christmas” in the Philippines starts in September (the ‘ber’ months). But in recent years, retail businesses have started to recognize Halloween as a viable selling opportunity so Christmas is pushed back till November. During the All Saints’ Day holiday, Halloween decorations are quickly replaced with Christmas lights and trimmings. :-)
