The MIND BLOWING Truth Why Filipino Christmas Starts in SEPTEMBER! (Reaction)

Lucy and George of JUICY REACTS were genuinely puzzled: why do Filipinos celebrate Christmas so early?  Their curiosity led them down a fascinating path, revealing that this isn't a modern invention, but a tradition stretching back before Christianity even arrived in the Philippines.  The key, they discovered, lies with the "Amihan," the northeast monsoon.  This seasonal shift marks the end of the destructive typhoon season and the beginning of the bountiful harvest.  For generations, this period has been a time of celebration and thanksgiving.  When Christianity arrived, it seamlessly blended with these existing customs.  The feast of Saint Nicholas, a symbol of generosity, happened to coincide with the "Amihan," making the integration even smoother.  The video contrasts this with other countries, like the UK, where Christmas is a decidedly December affair.  Lucy and George even shared their own experience of adjusting to the Philippines' extended Christmas season – initially bewildered, but now embracing the joyful, monthslong celebration.  Ultimately, the video reveals the deep cultural significance of this early Christmas season, a beautiful tapestry woven from ancient harvest festivals and Christian traditions.
