Some people start to buy gifts for their inaanaks (godson/daughter) as early as September and also for their friends and relatives. Others Adorn their houses with Christmas decors, others start to plan out their Christmas parties, for students they are getting ready for their Christmas break. On the other hand for some people the Christmas Season is also the time for them to earn some extra income.
