Jamie and I were killing some time today, so we decided to go to Walgreens. We live in a small town that is rapidly growing, but it is far from a metropolis. As we turned on to a main road we were both surprised by the amount of traffic that had accumulated at the major intersection.
There was not a wreck or any other traffic hinderence other than the large quantity of people that had come out of the woodwork. It seems that Santa has sent all of his elves to jam up traffic and to flood the stores in the area. Apparently Santa can't make toys for as cheap as he can buy them.
On top of the increased traffic flow, these new drivers to the area are completely lost. They are shooting across lanes and driving incredibly slow. It is very irritating to my 38 week pregnant wife. She beats on the car door as if it is the horn and yells as if the drivers can hear her.
Why does Christmas create so much craziness? Is it something in the air? Where are all of these people coming from? We do have a mall in the area which contributes to the madness, but it still blows my mind how people forget how to drive and they develop terrible attitudes.
Tis' the season to be jolly! Fa la la la la....take a Valium.
