"I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow"
This tune greeted us when we went to the kitchen for a super early breakfast late last week. Hubby can't believe his own ears... "*%&(#*! The neighbors are crazy. Who would play Christmas carols in September?". Little did he know that the music in fact came from my parents' room. You see, my mom loves Christmas so she likes playing the music as she gets dressed for work.
That afternoon on the way to the immigration office, we passed by those grass with white cottony flower. Told him again that, that's a sign that Christmas is in the air because eversince I was a child, my parents told me that you can only see those during the BER months.
After attending to some errands, we then dropped by a mall and yes, you guessed it right. Christmas trees and trimmings were now on display and even the guy selling karaoke microphone was belting out Christmas tunes.

And on the way home, colorful lighted reindeers were being sold in the sidewalk.
True, true... nowhere else in the world can you find Christmas as early as September. That's only here...in the Philippines.
