I am not sure if I can post Christmas Tree decor from different malls this year. But will try my best to go around towns and cities. I have seen malls already put up Christmas tree skipping the Halloween. Photo is of the Christmas tree being built in the Araneta City. It is an annual tradition to put up the tree like this.

@DaddyEvil Lol. You can enjoy it for sure but towards December I think you wouldn't like to go out to see the decors.

No Christmas decorations yet, nothing before beginning of December. May be this year the authorities will do nothing at all, we must not waste electricity.

@jobelbojel - With the Russian war we risk to be without electricity, all the Governments are asking the population not to waste and all the public lights will stay off this year.

@RubyHawk yes they will decorate the tree with lights and other ornaments. They usually put huge boxes underneath the tree as wrapped gifts.

For the first time Puregold mall here in my place has a Halloween decoration in the entrance but inside it is already decorated with Christmas decors. Maybe they will put the Christmas tree on December

It is really too early but if that is how it is done in your country, it is ok. I hope Christmas is always very interesting there, since you are preparing ahead.

Is Halloween even acknowledged in your country? Or, is the Christmas season the only one?

We don't normally celebrate Halloween. It was just lately that we mirror the celebration in the US like the trick or treat and some even dress up for the said occasion.

That is certainly some tree and would take a bit of erecting, I think.
