Prepare your Christmas 2020
Do not allow the pandemic to prevent you from decorating your home this Christmas. Here are simple tips that REBPH gathered to achieve that first step in feeling the vibe of Christmas.
While Christmas this year will definitely be different for everyone, the celebrations are still happening. It is important now more than ever to celebrate family, relationships, and happy moments so we can go through the rough days and the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Happy people are healthier, less anxious, and more energetic. It’s wiser to stay happy and positive and to keep the holiday traditions this year while we remain careful by observing all safety and health protocols.
Decorating the home for the holidays is therapeutic for many people. Many professional decorating businesses in the US have been getting above normal engagements because more people are going big on Christmas this year, and they are doing it earlier, too.
People are staying at home, and so they have more time to beautify their space. Plus, they have saved the Christmas vacation money to afford to spend more on lavish decor. If you are thinking of putting up your holiday decor (if you haven’t already) soon, here are some things to remember:
ORDER YOUR DECOR EARLY
Avoid the rush and place your orders now. Pandemic or no pandemic, expect deliveries to be delayed during the Christmas season. Plus, it may even be more expensive then.
SHOP LOCAL
Let us all support Pinoy entrepreneurs and the small businesses struggling to keep the business afloat. Patronize Filipino products and support your friends, friends of friends, and other small biz by buying decor, delicacies, and gifts from them.
PUT EXTRA EFFORT INTO OUTDOOR DECORATING
It is truly important to spread the holiday cheer among your neighbors (and passers-by) at this time, so consider going all out with the outdoor ornaments.
PREPARE A SPECIAL SPACE FOR THE FAMILY TO GATHER
You can turn part of the garden into a tiny outdoor dining area, for example, and decorate it with fairy lights or lanterns, fresh flowers, and a simple Christmas centerpiece. With the help of a little holiday table setting, the whole family can enjoy Noche Buena here or the Christmas breakfast/luncheon.

So the turkey’s in the oven, the church bells are ringing and the Christmas tree is all lit up. But as you look around your home, you realize there’s barely anyone there. As with practically every event and celebration taking place in the year 2020, sacrifices will have to be made for the greater good, which means that Christmas 2020 is shaping up to be a far more ‘peaceful affair.
The Southeast Asian country is well known to have a zeal for the festive season— anticipation and preparation start as early as September —so this year is shaping up to look and feel different to the Filipinos. As Philippines continues to struggle with the pandemic, tight social measures have been taken to assert control: Gatherings are prohibited, curfews are enacted, and Christmas parties seem to have been outright banned in Metro Manila. While restrictions over non-essential international travel have been relaxed since end of October, reports indicate that there s no immediate surge in bookings. People may look to spend the holiday close by or stick to what they know best: celebrating with their loved ones, albeit in a smaller capacity this year.
