DID YOU KNOW? ð The World's Longest Christmas The Philippines is famous for having the longest Christmas season in the world! The "Ber" Months: The celebrations unofficially begin as soon as the "Ber" months roll aroundâSeptember, October, November, and December. The Soundtrack: As early as September 1st, Christmas carols start playing in malls and on the radio, and decorations begin to appear. The Finale: The festivities don't officially conclude until the Feast of the Epiphany (Three Kings' Day) in early January, meaning the season can last for four months or more! This extended period is marked by other unique traditions, like the Simbang Gabi (a series of nine pre-dawn masses) and the vibrant, star-shaped lanterns called Parols, which symbolize the Star of Bethlehem. #christmas #philippines #shorts
