this christmas season going to the mall here in the the philippines is a little chaos...roads are very busy,a lot of people, vendors and business stalls were growing in the street...it really annoys me being stuck in the traffic....if u cannot help it to go out, what were u thinking if you were stuck in the traffic?

Hi beabenitez! You are not alone in this dilemma. Traffic is so annoying and heavy particularly during the Christmas season. You've got to know the different alternative route to avoid being stuck in a traffic jam. I usually just listen to good sounds and music to turn away my mind from the anger and irritation that traffic congestion bring on us. As much as possible I try to understand the feeling of each driver and just keep my attention and patience. Have a nice day!

This is the time everyone goes out to Christmas shopping. Yes, indeed, there can be heavy traffic along the way. Much to worsen, here in Canada, the weather conditions are so bad. We are getting lots of snow making the roads very slippery and dangerous. Need to be very careful when driving. That again causes a lot of traffic jams and accidents too. Merry Christmas to you !

Where I live there is always traffic and its not crazy traffic, but you're going to be stop and go no matter what around 7-9 AM in the morning and between 3-6/7ish at night when people are coming home and no time on the weekends is there a let up. Now with the holiday season coming around its stop and go the entire time. A trip that takes me 15 minutes, 25 minutes on a bad time to get to work is now taking me somewhere between 40-45 minutes. It's ridiculous but we've gone through it year after year so I'm not bad about it. If I'm late I know its my own fault, I knew this was how it was gonna be.

It's the same way here during christmas the malls are just crazy. I went to the mall a few years ago before christmas and had to wait an hour just to get out of the parking space. That is why I never do my shopping at the mall. I just order everything from amazon.com It's a hell of a lot easier then putting up with the crowds at the mall lol.

bea i feel your anger, i live in florida and every year this time of year the people from the northern states come to florida to get out of the cold for 6 months, talk about traffic, my god these people cant drive to save their lives. what gets me the most is if the speed limit is 55 they do 30 mph if i was a cop id give everyone of them a ticket for impending traffic and a bus pass back to where they came from. merry christmas

Hello in big cities traffic is certainly a problem, no way out, no shortcuts, we have to obey the traffic rules and move safe, when stuck in traffic if i find it would take very long time, i prefer to open a magazine and surf through its pages, there are always some in my car Bhuwan
