In the 🇵🇭PH, it was more common to take long vacations during the weeks approaching Christmas, in which kids also have long breaks.
We take the Christmas season there seriously: it takes up the whole “ber” months (September onwards), with a couple of days short break for Holloween 👻 on Nov., then Christmas resumes. 😄
I bet there are Christmas trees and lanterns around already this time. 😁
@ayo This toot made me want to move 😢
PS: We have a Filipino Christmas lantern in the UK :)
@gpowerf my recollection of the culture (mostly from childhood than recent) also make me want to visit back, but there’s probably more to it now than I remember…
Don’t move but I think it’s definitely worth a visit in Christmas season. Most people visit for the summer but it’s a different vibe there on November/December—it’s still warm (relatively), less tourists, more vibes :)
