This week is a marathon of rosy talk about happy traditions. Well, let’s talk about everything else: the bad traditions. For instance, driving around in the worst traffic of the year: “If you’re thinking that the world seems to collectively forget how to drive once December 1 rolls around, you would be completely right. Perhaps we’re all in a fog of seasonal stressors or perhaps we’re just running around a lot more with gift buying and company dinners. Compound that with a kid or three yelling over the iPad in the backseat and so much Mariah Carey on the radio that your brain feels like it’s made of tinsel, and you’re due to pull over for a good, long laugh-cry.” Sounds about right, yes. |
