One of the delights of celebrating Christmas in the Philippines is taking in the elaborate decors, bright lights, creative designs and the distinctive Filipino touch.

From every nook and cranny, from the smallest barrio to the biggest city, from the humblest huts to the enormous mansions, every street, building, room - any space, the Filipino will find a way to make it feel like Christmas.

Even For a country where pine trees are not common, the Christmas Tree is an essential decorative item whether for corporate or household tastes.

In the coming days, as December gets nearer and as more pictures get taken, I will post more scenes to give a Philippine-feel of Christmas for those who feel nostalgic or you are just curious what you’ll see this time of the year.

If you have any pictures of Philippine Christmas scene (whether take here or abroad, as long as it is a mark of Filipino hands), please send them to me and I’ll do my best to post them. Email me at magandang[dot]balita[at]gmail[dot]com.
