It is September and I have heard music of Christmas in almost every shopping mall in the city. Is it not too early for Christmas songs? Philippines has the longest Christmas in the world. It starts in September and ends in February. Have you prefered for your Christmas decorations? I have not yet but I am already thinking what to bake or do to have a fun celebration. I am going to make a gingerbread house for Christmas. Have you made one before? Making gingerbread house is fun. I will be making this Christmas decoration again with my nieces. Just like 2 years ago. The gingerbread house was made by me ages ago, with graham crackers.

It is beautiful! Are the golden buttons edible too? Yes,many malls/stores are now playing Christmas songs, which make me quite sad. I don't know. But we are expecting some activities first for the All Saints/Souls' Day on Nov. 1 and 2.

Yes, the golden buttons are edible. I brought them from Germany for decorating cakes, cupcakes and other goodies I baked @acelawrites. All souls and Saints Day come first before decorating Christmas.

@hereandthere yes, I only decorate the house a few days before the first advent . I associate the German and the Filipino way of Christmas.

I've never made one, but I've always wanted to. I'm sure the gingerbread kits will be in the stores soon. We haven't started on Christmas here yet. Though I know it's coming soon.

I know @DianneN. I remember that. Hanukkah is also a wonderful celebration I think.

@thelme55 We haven't done a gingerbread house in a long time. If I think of it I might try one at Christmas.

@RubyHawk just like I do when I make gingerbread house when I am in the Philippines. i bake the gingerbread walls, floor and ceiling when I am in Germany because I find it a real gingerbread house with cinnamon flavouring in it.

I only attempted to make a ginger bread house once and it was a fiasco. Way too early to talk about Christmas.

Thank you @JudyEv. When I heard the Christmas songs in the mall, I felt the cold scenery of the song. I thought about winter in Germany. Lol

I haven't started thinking about Christmas yet. I need to. I need to come up with some Christmas crafts for my Women's Group to make.

Christmas is in the air here in the Philippines. Everytime we go to the mall we can already hear Christmas songs. I usually put Christmas decors after All Souls day.

I was watching a cookery show a few weeks ago when they made gingerbread houses and I've made a promise to myself that I'll have a go at making one this Christmas. I've never made one before. But other than that I haven't given a thought to Christmas yet. It seems to start around September over here too - way, way too early. I don't get the Christmas spirit until December!
