No Christmas Decor Yet!? Filipina Christmas FOMO

It's OK, we're only a couple of months late!

As a Filipina living in the USA, I’m definitely feeling the *Christmas FOMO* (FOMO="Fear of Missing Out") this year! 🎄 Back in the Philippines, the Christmas season kicks off as early as September—yes, that’s right, we call it the “Ber” months! Stores are already filled with holiday music, streets are decorated with lights, and everyone’s busy prepping for the most festive season of the year. But here in the US, it’s a whole different story. Christmas decorations don’t usually appear until after Thanksgiving, so while my friends and family back home are soaking up the holiday spirit, I’m still waiting for the festivities to begin.

In this video, I’ll dive into the cultural differences between Christmas in the USA and the Philippines. I’ll share why Filipinos are so excited to start decorating early and how we celebrate in a way that’s unique to our culture. From *parols* (Filipino Christmas lanterns) to giant Christmas trees in malls, we know how to make the season special! Meanwhile, in the US, the holiday spirit builds up gradually, with Thanksgiving as the start of the holiday season.

Join me as I explore my holiday traditions, the joy of early Christmas celebrations, and why this year’s wait has me feeling all the FOMO!
