Here in the Philippines, we can often tell the time of the year by the kind of weather we're having. The extreme heat signifies summer, the cold breeze signifies the coming of the BER months, and the frequent pouring of rain signifies the rainy season. But for the past few weeks, i've been experiencing a mixture of all three--rain, heat, and a little breeze. The weather nowadays is just really so unpredictable, it makes it so difficult to schedule things and plan outfits. It's already November and the cold, comforting breeze we often have this time of the year doesn't come as often as it used to.

But the presence of Christmas decors at home never fails to bring up my spirit and signify the coming of the best, most comforting time of the year. The other day, I got home to Christmas decors all over the house and this made me extremely excited. Unfortunately, January hasn't come; hence no Christmas tree. As I've mentioned in my Tumblr a year back, January is the name of the woman who puts up our Christmas tree every year (yeah, so ironic!). And when January comes, we all get excited to finally see the beautiful, well-lit tree. Unlike the previous years, January is a little busier this December, so we're expecting the tree to be up sometime mid November.  

Here are some photos of the Christmas decors we have at home.

I really do love seeing houses so dressed for the upcoming holidays. I don't know if it's just extra special to me because I was born only two days before Christmas, but the red and gold and green and other shiny things just really never fail to get me so excited and happy. It really is a different kind of comforting feeling and I'm so glad that it has finally arrived!
