Holiday Pictures Day 20:
International Christmas Edition, Philippines version!
Did you know that the Philippines celebrates the longest Christmas season in the world? It begins in September! I learned about these Phillipino Christmas lanterns and I thought they were so pretty.
“The Filipino Parol (pah-Rol) or Christmas lantern is one of the most-loved Christmas decorations in the Philippines, an iconic symbol during the holiday season and which can be found in almost all Filipino homes, offices and street corners. The Filipino Parol is supposedly adapted from the Chinese lantern and the Mexican piñata to symbolize the Star of Bethlehem”
