With 40 days to go before Christmas, demand for decors and lanterns went fever pitch and that’s what exactly these roadside vendors/entrepreneurs are now, in the thick of things rush, rushing work to make orders and meet demands.

From this moment on until the middle of December, expect brisk in sales for lanterns and X’Mas decors until it breaks a week before Christmas day, 25 December. Said vendors, who makes and sell their product at a certain barangay in Las Pinas City that’s renowned for X’Mas lantern-making, said the price of their hand-made lanterns is between P600 and P700.
