Ah, it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas in the Philippines, where the only traffic flow faster than holiday shoppers is the sea of red along EDSA, Metro Manila’s festive parking lot. 

Forget about dreams of a white Christmas; we’re dreaming of a red one, thanks to brake lights and Santa suits competing for attention. 

The holiday spirit is so contagious that even traffic enforcers are donning red uniforms, perhaps hoping their festive attire will distract drivers from the gridlock. 

Move over, Rudolph; EDSA’s glow is guided by the red-nosed commuters stuck in a perpetual sleigh ride of yuletide frustration.
