It may be just October, but Paolo Ballesteros is already bringing the Christmas spirit to life.

The “Die Beautiful” star has decorated his home with a giant red bow along with Christmas garlands decking the balconies, as seen in his Instagram posts yesterday, Oct. 3.

At night, the fairy lights brighten the unmissable bow and garlands.

“Pasko na sa Antipolo (It’s Christmas in Antipolo)!” Ballesteros declared.

Ballesteros, who is accustomed to dressing up in eye-catching drag outfits, is not one to let his star be dimmed — and apparently, his own home must stand out too.

Richly scented candles and warm-hued throw pillows are particularly attractive around this time, and with the official start of fall already behind us, it’s the moment to pull out the autumnal table runners and throw blankets.
