Goodbye August, Hello Ber Months!

Keep calm & welcome BER months (w/ hugots & memes)

The -ber months are the last four months of the calendar year. From September, October, November and December. In the Philippines, the -ber months are significant because they mark the Christmas season & it traditionally ends on the sixth of January, Three Kings’ Day.

BER month na bes, may for-eBER ka na ba? 😀

It's Christmas time in the Philippines!
More than anybody else in the world, Christmas season starts off with saying the word ber months and it literally starts the first day of September wherein as early as this date, radios and television programs already play Christmas songs making the feel even more near holiday season. Streets start to get filled with different sounds and music about Christmas season. The offices start to vie for different sorts of corporate giveaways and oh! people starting to set up the christmas tree!

I know, I hear the groans from the expats.😂

While in other cold countries, it signifies the start of near autumn or fall & winter. In the Philippines, it is the start of the "amihan" (our version of seabreeze) where the climate literally starts to change and the wind starts to blow a bit colder smears especially in the morning. This feeling somehow has become a year-after-year Filipino tradition.

yep! Autumn is here & winter is coming.. 😉

Happy BER months Steemians!
