I don't think so if setting them out is necessary, all I know is it becomes a traditional act of every Christian around the world. They get their Christmas tree out of the storage room or box (others purchase a new one) and set it up either in or out of their house. Expect it to see when BER months arrive (September, October, November, and December. Sometimes, you’ll even see it on January and February). It's also the same on Christmas lanterns and lights that we commonly see hang up and decorated on the wall of every house.
But the question is do we really need to have them set up in our house especially this coming Christmas? I think it does not really matter whether we set it up or not, as long as we never forget the meaning of Christmas: Gift-giving, attending the night masses (Simbang Gabi) and the like are the things we should continuously do during and after Christmas. Besides, it is the thought that counts and the presence of our loved ones. It doesn’t matter whether you haven’t received a new toy or gift, even if there are no delicious foods on your table or anything else because that is not the spirit of Christmas. The quality time we have together with our family and friends are the most important of all.
Above all, Jesus Christ is the center of it and the reason why we should celebrate Christmas. But it's not only in Christmas we must do the above acts because honestly, every day can be Christmas for each and every one of us. Share your love with people endear to you, and it will surely be recognized by them. Smile and the world will smile back at you.
