CHRISTMAS is just around the corner! Everywhere you go, you can feel the Christmas spirit all around. Christmas carols are being played at the malls and homes, and families are busy with holiday shopping and preparing for gifts. But what truly brightens and ignites the holiday cheer are the Christmas decorations.

Decorating the home has been a tradition and culture every Christmas. Every generation has its own memory of putting up decorations with family and loved ones. Through all the previous generations, there are main-stay decors that are always present during the holidays.

Here are the main-stay Christmas decors that are easily spotted at SM City Olongapo Central and SM City Olongapo Downtown.

Parol

A classic “Filipino Christmas décor”. It is a star ornament with single or multiple lights inside to brighten up its already colorful design and sizes. The parol represents the Star of Bethlehem that guided the wise men to the baby Jesus Christ.

Christmas Tree

The Christmas Tree has been an iconic indoor home decoration all over the world. No matter what country or culture, the Christmas tree stands tall to represent the meaning of the holiday – to spread love, joy and peace to all mankind.  Family and loved ones enjoy decorating and customizing their home’s Christmas tree.

Christmas Lights

Whether it’s inside or outside of the home, Christmas lights have always been a staple décor during holiday season. With its radiant colors dancing along to Christmas carols, Christmas lights can surely brighten up the neighborhood.

Christmas Village – Nativity of Jesus

A beautiful symbol of Christmas that most Filipino families have in their homes is a figurine display of a Christmas village. It usually showcases a beautiful scene of the manger with the Baby Jesus, Joseph and Mary, surrounded by the Three Wise Men and even adorable farm animals. It’s a beautiful depiction of the birth of Baby Jesus, which is what Christmas is all about.

Christmas Wreath

Another timeless Christmas tradition is adorning your front door with a Christmas Wreath. It brings a welcoming mood to your home and adds color and style. A sight of beautiful, festive wreath is sure to get anyone into the Christmas spirit!
