For this holiday season, there are three things I’d like to mention:
The first: Holiday traffic. It is absolutely nuts. Yes, I am mainly referring to my mall experiences, as I never have to make pilgrimages to visit family in nearby or far off states. Parking lot stalking is at its seasonal peak, jumping out in front of oncoming traffic is more popular than ever, and avoiding fender benders seems to take the backseat to glancing down at lists and checking things off. Just sayin’.
Secondly: Don’t drive drunk. My friend called me the other night in a panic because he had witnessed some drunk guy who would sleep in his car for a few minutes while waiting at a red light and then almost run into two different poles and almost run into three different cars who were oblivious to his situation. “I really thought I was going to see someone die just now,” he said nervously. “It was the scariest thing.”
Lastly, do you get your oil changed regularly? Yesterday I glanced at my friendly reminder sticker on my windshield and I was two months overdue. Shame on me.
With that, I leave you to fight the traffic, avoid the drunks and get my oil changed.
Merry Christmas,
