Well, it is in the Philippines. Today is 16 August and as such, 15 days away from the start of the Festive Season here. In the Philippines the festive season is known as the ‘ber months (September, October, November, December). This will be when the Christmas decorations go up in the stores and malls, and the playing of Christmas Carols commences in those malls – for the next four months!
It is normally around mid-October that the repeated Christmas Carols feel more like a Chinese Water Torture but then I relex and reaise that there are only 10 more weeks of Carol Singing to go!
Merry Christmas!
Sigh … it’s started! Yesterday, riding in a trike (will post details of those later), the trike owner had put a music player in the passenger seating area and over the rather loud sound of the motor cycle, I was blasted with Christmas Carols!
Argh … it’s started!
