You know in the Philippines, Christmas is being celebrated early and longer. Ber months is when the celebration starts. Last week SM Aura started decorating for Christmas, people are so excited. SM Malls are one of the most known shopping malls in the Philippines and thy are also one of the first to decorate their malls for Christmas, next week we will be hearing Jose Marie Chan and Mariah Carrey's Christmas songs for sure. Do you also celebrate Christmas early in your country? To Christ be the glory.

In America, we have Thanksgiving in November, which is a huge holiday. But still, November first Christmas items come out too, and the decorations are starting to be placed. But a lot of people feel like Thanksgiving should be properly appreciated first. Personally, I’d love to celebrate Christmas months in advance.

We all love celebrating it in advance. Jesus' birth was the best thing that happened in the world.

I don't know if we are going to celebrate i on my mother's family side or my dad's family side. But my sister and I want to celebrate it in our home. Hehehe.

Well, once the 'ber' months start, Christmas feelings start seeping in. In India they would start Christmas decorations around November end. We have Dussehra and Diwali coming before that.
