MANILA: At a city block-sized market in the Philippine capital, a platoon of plastic Santa Claus figures parachute from the ceiling of a shop already stacked high with Christmas decor despite the holiday being fully four months away.

马尼拉：在菲律宾首都一个占地一个街区的市场里，尽管距离圣诞节还有整整四个月，但一家已经堆满了圣诞装饰品的商店的天花板上却空降着一排塑料圣诞老人玩偶。
对于菲律宾人来说，这个网站并不陌生。9 月 1 日意味着广播电台播放圣诞颂歌，房主们挂起彩灯，全国各大购物中心也纷纷推出最令人印象深刻的圣诞装饰。
