In the Philippines, once the "ber" months start, it also signals the start of Christmas time. Radio airwaves start playing Christmas songs, people start thinking of cleaning their holiday decors and get ready for another round of decorating their homes. Offices and department stores are also expected to don colorful ornaments recognizing the onset of the merry holidays.
I just noticed that buildings in business districts are not as lavish with their decorations for the past...what, four or five years. As years go on, the lesser their display of Christmas lights and ornaments. Signs of the times. Overhead charges are so expensive for these activities that will only last for two months. Companies would rather spend them on bonuses and holiday parties.
This gold and green Christmas is at the upper level of Trinoma mall's park. I like the color combination. Easy on the eyes, add to that the effect of the dancing fountain along the walk way.
***I will be doing my WS rounds later when I get back home. :)
Mood: Okay.

That's a beautiful tree. Here in the US we will celebrate Halloween on Wednesday and All Saints Day and Thanksgiving in November before the Christmas boxes will come out of the attic!
That is a pretty tree. I was in the store today and the shelves were getting filled with Christmas decorations.

That is a lovely tree. the colors go well with each other. The stores are definitely getting full with all the Christmas decorations.
They are trying to sell as much as they can but I think you are right when you say people have cut back.
Times are changing...Some sad for sure.
Take care,
Connie
Christmas still 55 days to go and the deco already up..wow
Christmas decorations are coming out earlier and earlier. I think it is sad.
Hi Lynn. Sorry haven't visited in a while. I had Internet problems at home but things are back to normal. I'm trying to catch up.
That's a lovely Christmas tree. Haven't been to Trinoma yet but looking forward to going there when there's a chance.
SANDY, In the Phils, all you've mentioned are observed side by side. Some Xmas decors are already displayed though what's highlightes during October are those for Halloween.
CAROLINE, Pretty yes, love the colors.
CARVER, Hope your week is great too. :)

AH BONG, It's a long holiday celebration in here.
