I hope you're not taking down your Christmas decor yet. In the Philippines, we usually remove the Christmas decor on the night of January 5th (Three Kings or Epiphany), or the Twelfth Night. In some cultures, it is believed to be bad luck to take down Christmas decor before the Twelfth Night.Because my family has no Christmas traditions, I just enjoy myself getting creative with Christmas decor. When you're too lazy to put up a tree, or your apartment is too small to accommodate a real Christmas tree, then these pearly capiz cone-shaped topiaries would make a festive table accent.

What a lovely color red is my fave colors...
ReplyDeleteno were not...20 days after christmas our christmas tree is going out....
Happy new year in advance!
Lovely naman nyan sissy. Pati blog background mo eh red din. :)
ReplyDeleteJust curious why your family has no Christmas tradition, you mean hindi sila nagsi-celebrate like ng family ko? Maybe it has something to do with the religion.
Happy New Year sissy. Abundant blessing for the coming year.
Btw, breaktime ko at hindi makatiis hindi makasilip sa mga kablogs hahaha.
What pretty little holiday decors.
ReplyDeleteTraditionally, we put down our decors the day after Three Kings. This year though, I think I'll take them down at the end of the Christmas Season which is until Jan 10.
Have a fun NY celebration.
those decors are good enough in exchange of a christmas tree. if ill have my own condo unit, i wont have a christmas tree either. no time really to set it up.
ReplyDeleteenjoy the holiday season!
Wonderful RUBY decorations! I'd enjoy leaving them up too ;-)
ReplyDeleteHugs and blessings,

Your Christmas decorations in red and white are very artistic.
ReplyDeleteModern and traditional.
I like them.
I also find it fascinating that customs are rather similar all around the globe.
The thirteenth Day , January the 6th is celebrated in Norway as well, followed by the final 20th Day.

You have a nice Christmas decor. Namiss ko talaga Christmas sa Pinas....Happy Ruby Tuesday.

These ornaments are beautiful, the artistic look of the season. We will keep our tree up until just before the kids go back to school. The bright lights and rubies don't ever get old! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteLovely reds here!
ReplyDeleteMy decorations are still up. ;-)
I love them all, especially the polka dotted reindeer. The combination of red and white with polka dots is a favorite pattern of mine!
ReplyDeleteOur decorations are still up, probably will come down on New Years Day, but we have been known to leave them up until the 12th night!
I love the cone trees. Beautiful pic.
ReplyDeleteI once left my tree up until Valentine's Day (February 14)!
