Filipinos have been celebrating Christmas since September for a long time now. In our culture, the '-ber' months are essentially Christmas.

We even have an unofficial 'theme song' that starts playing in malls and radios once September 1 hits. It might as well be Philippine's equivalent to Jingle Bells because of how widespread it is. My cousins and I joke that there's no escaping it.

Well Twitter very well may implode by Monday, this time for real.

That sounds absolutely dreadful. My condolences.

Who said I hated it?

LOL, by Talisman's comment, I was honestly expecting something sung out-of-tune and genuinely awful, but it actually sounds...quite lovely. Though I probably would get sick of hearing it after September.

But what about Halloween?

Starting DCs Titans Series III once it comes in. V likely the last so I'll finish the series on DVD.

In Philippines, Halloween's like a two or three day affair. The first two days are spent on candy sales and the actual Halloween is for the holiday. Then people generally revert back to Christmas mode the day after.

This song plays until New Years. You have no idea how many times it gets stuck on repeat on my head. It's a lovely song but yeah it gets worn out around October.

Reminds me of this:


Honestly, I've just gotten used to it. I love Christmas, yes I love Thanksgiving, but given how much people here want to forget about that holiday (ironic) nothing surprises me anymore. Heck, people are ready to celebrate Christmas mid- July here.

On another note, I might actually have somewhere I can work on my Manga. Now just to get to writing it...

Is Christmas also celebrated in July in the Southern Hemisphere?
