The “ber” months have started with the arrival of September and here in the Philippines, what does it mean? Yey, it’s Christmas soon!!! In fact, for most people, Christmas is truly here!

We don’t have here a white Christmas unlike in Europe and most of the Americas, when winter would be in the offing, and snow abounding everywhere. But we do have white-decorated Christmas trees, as if snow has truly fallen here!

Last time I visited Europe, together with my parents, as I have siblings there, in Czech Republic and Finland in particular, it was already summer, however, the cold winds seemed to say it was not so. No wonder many tourists, maybe the Asians, had their plus size outerwear coats on. These were the ones who were not accustomed to such cold weather. But for their locals, they look so comfy wearing sleeveless blouses and skimpy outfit while I was wrapped up in jacket and jeans!
