These decorative Stars of David (we embrace Jews) or Stars of Bethlehem (we embrace Christians) made in the Philippines are called parol (we embrace Pinoys). I saw parols everywhere when I was in the Philippines last month. Seeing them made me feel nostalgic. For what exactly I don't know.
This photo was taken on 11/5/05 at Manila International Airport. Chances are this display has been up for four months, since Christmas season in the Philippines begins in September. This is not an exaggeration. Pinoys can be quite the fanatic Catholics. Or at least they find any excuse to party.
