LIST: Local online stores to shop for Christmas 2024 decor
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Christmas is a huge deal in the Philippines. We are known for having the longest—and grandest—Christmas season in the world. While most countries celebrate it only in December, the festive spirit in the country starts as soon as the -ber months arrive, making it a four-month-long celebration.
Aside from Christmas in Our Hearts performances by our very own Jose Mari Chan, Mariah Carey—who is the queen of holiday songs—even gave a special mention to the Philippines early this month to announce that it's officially our time. "Philippines, it's time (only for you!!)," she tweeted on X on Sept. 9.
Planning to put out festive decorations in your home as early as now? No need to scour the malls for such as there are some local online stores you can count on. Here are some of them.
