 The Philippines has the longest Christmas season, reportedly.As early as September up until January 9, which is the feast of the Black Nazarene (the season ends on the Feast of the Lord's Baptism on the 2nd Sunday of January or the Monday after Epiphany if the 2nd Sunday is marked as such), Carolers can be typically heard going door to door serenading fellow Filipinos in exchange of money.All over the entire country, parols (star shaped lanterns) are hung everywhere and lights are lit.
