Christmas Season: Philippines

They say that the Philippines has the longest Christmas season in the world.  Well I tend to agree with that as a you hear a few Christmas carols blaring in the malls as early as September.  Though the malls here decorate a bit for Halloween during the month of October, it is more of a minor interruption or sideshow.

Once Halloween is over, that's when the Christmas season goes full blast.  Think of the US a few days after Thanksgiving but much more pronounced.  And it is not just the malls in urban areas that decorate, various places in most parts of the Philippines go all out.

Here are some of the best Christmas decorations that I have seen in various Philippines provinces.   For the next few weeks, I will be featuring other places as well.
