It is barely 17 days before Christmas. Here in our place, you can already feel the air of Christmas. Not that every house is decorated but because of the fact that the air is really cold, especially during dawn. I think all ACs around the subdivision are already turned off at night since no one barely needs it.

In addition, when you go around the city, you'll see that most malls are already filled with Christmas decors. Aside from the colorful lights, I look forward in finding decors that uses Votive candle holders on it being sold in the market. I had always loved the lighting projected by these candles because it emphasizes the 'solitude' of the occasion.

Apart from these, you'll see people doing their Christmas shopping already. I'm sure that most of these people have already received their Christmas bonuses. How I envy them

For our house, we have small 'parols' hanging on our windows. We also have some Christmas lights (which I seldom light at night). I haven't wont' set up our Christmas tree this time because there is no space for it now. I also have a hard time moving around hat is why I don't move a lot. I might not be able to fix Christmas trimmings by January already. So we'll just satisfy ourselves with these simple decors for now.
