The Philippines reminds of the Spanish Caribbean Islands, and South and Central America. Which has gotten me used to the Christmas Season Starting in September or as it is referred to here in the Philippines as the “BER” months? The stores that are not yet NIS (Not in Stock) will start to put up Christmas decorations this month and will start the Christmas music also. I know of two stores that all year has displayed 2016 Christmas candy and never marked it down, it is now ready to sell in 2017.
