Christmas comes early in the Philippines. Filipinos start decorating for Christmas as early as September 1st, when the "ber" months begin, marking the start of the longest Christmas season in the world. The festive season continues through the "ber" months (September, October, November, December) and often extends until mid-January, with decorations like parols (star-shaped lanterns) sometimes remaining up for weeks after the main holiday.
