It's the "ber" season

The "ber" season has begun and the past months are now memories. The promising Yule season is even more anticipated (only i was wondering if people can still celebrate that much due to the tragic events from the past months which are still haunting some of us).

In the Philippines, christmas is said to be one of the longest celebrations ever. It starts as soon as the month of BER begins, which is September. Why September? Well, September ends with "BER" just like December therefore the countdown to Christmas starts as soon as the month of BER begins. Radio stations begin to fill the air with Christmas songs. Anywhere you go, the famous "parol" is being lit. Streets, business establishments and houses all over the country is decorated with colorful lights. Everyone will start to linger on the thought of how fast days passed by and before you notice, here it is, Christmas just around the corner.
