Holiday Drivers

I had to run a few Christmas shopping errands at lunch today and I really must say that it was a pleasant experience. People are so cheerful right now despite the rainy, gloomy day on the Central Coast.

For instance, I was on my way across town to the mall when I realized the store I was about to pass might have the exact same thing only cheaper (maybe) and, well, not across town. So, quickly, I turned into the parking lot, cutting off only a few (five) drivers who each acknowledged my rather impressive, skillful driving prowess with a choir of cheerful honking horns and seasonal hand gestures.

“Happy Holidays to you, too!” I waved back.

You people are oh so nice this time of year. Really! I meant it!
