The world-famous Filipino creativity, resilience and optimism have always been front and center during the longest Christmas season there is. If you lead with these, it wouldn’t be so hard to appreciate that many Pinoys will continue to deck the halls, even when 2020 has been among the worst years in recent history.
The mere sight of the season’s décor magically uplifts weary souls in the country. Parol and Christmas lights always induce smiles. Without fail, an image of Santa brings joy to the children, and sends adults down memory lane. Instead of discouraging celebration, the gloomy year might even motivate many goodhearted people, even those who have not been spared by the cruel few months. They will observe traditions for that much-needed Yuletide cheer.
You can join that league, and one-stop-shop home store Wilcon Depot can help you make it happen with presets, from classic to modern, that can help you ensure a memorable Christmas. Give your home a jolly vibe and fill it with glitter and shine. Let decorations transform your address, perk up the household and bring awe to passersby.
Never go wrong with a classical theme
Decorate a tree with red, green and gold Christmas balls, ribbons and leaves. You can add “Merry Christmas” or Santa Claus figurines, and other items that capture the timeless iconography. A chic and elegant option is a tree studded with gold trinkets and ribbons. If you want to break the monotony, add a few silver items. Elevate the whole room by adding other shiny ornaments, from furniture to vases and figurines.
Take “white Christmas”
A palette of white, cream, pale blue and even gray will strike a chord with those who’ve always wanted to celebrate Christmas in winter. Deck the Christmas tree with items that fit the theme. Synchronize the room by placing white or silver décor. Not to be outdone is the rustic-industrial theme for its warmth and simplicity. Fill a tree with red Christmas balls then entangle it with yellow Christmas lights. Set them by wooden or brownish furniture.
Raising morale
Wilcon, too, is choosing to raise the morale for our battered nation by unburdening those who will decide to spruce up their homes for the holidays. Those who want to transform their addresses can take advantage of generous discounts in Wilcon’s ongoing Pre-Holiday Sale. Discounts go as high as 30 percent on a wide selection of products. The promo ends on Nov. 21. Wilcon’s measures to protect consumers against COVID-19 may help you decide in favor of Yuletide decorations this year.
Even with much simpler or smaller actions, our decision to keep the Christmas spirit alive can enable other people to find hope and happiness in themselves. Isn’t it true that, for the Filipino, there’s always something to be thankful for?
