For those of you who are not familiar, the often-talked about “Ber” months is known as the official countdown to Christmas in the Philippines! While it might seem a bit strange to start celebrating so early, it is a complete mindset shift that infects people of all ages once September rolls around. So what exactly does it mean?
Things like cooler weather, colorful decorations (lanterns and Christmas trees!), and the opportunity to try out different recipes for meals and treats are just a few of the ways the “Ber” months are celebrated.
Personally, we love any excuse to celebrate, and extending the Christmas spirit for several months sounds like a dream come true!
Happy “Ber” Months to our friends in the Philippines and beyond! We are celebrating with you in spirit!
