Christmas shopping bazaar season in full swing


In the Philippines, the holidays begin in September. Parols are sold by the road, radio stations play Christmas carols, and store displays turn red and green. 
 
By now, early birds have already crossed out the last name on their lists. But last-minute shoppers have nothing to worry about. Bazaars are everywhere, from outdoor tiangges to air-conditioned halls with seemingly endless booths. 
 
Whether you're looking for the usual gift items like clothes and toys, or some unusual home décor, you’re bound to find something at one of this year’s bazaars. Here is a list of bazaars that you can still catch before Christmas:
