Do you all have Parol (Christmas Lantern) in front of your house?  

Actually, we are living in the apartment building.. In every floor of our building, there's a full of Christmas light so that the whole building will be colorful and looks bright.. But there's no parol or Christmas Lanterns hanging in the building.. When you get inside our house, same thing you won't see any Christmas Lantern.. We just have some few Christmas light then a very small Christmas Tree, then that's it! We didn't buy anymore Christmas Tree because for me I don't feel the essence of Christmas right now since I will just spending my Christmas with my sister and niece.. This is my first Christmas not spending with the entire family.. So, maybe this coming Christmas I won't feel the essence of it and maybe I'll just treat it just like the ordinary days..

Sad that we don't. It's actually not allowed in our religion. But to see fabulous lanterns on the street are very entertaining.

we don't have parol in the house but i do have christmas decors but never think of buying parol. i don't know, i like christmas lights more. but i love to watch parols hang in some of the lamp post on the streets.

Hi warrior_777! In previous years, we have both Christmas lights and lantern in front of our house. Our lantern is made of capiz shells and we've been using it for several years. Now we only have Christmas lights, call it cost cutting. LoL!

YES! but i really want to buy something that's made from recycled scraps.
