Pre-Christmas Frenzy

I think all the snow went to everyone's head this past weekend.  Many of us were stuck in our homes, unable to do much except play in the snow that was within walking distance.  So now that the sun is out and people can once again travel, everyone is trying to get caught up on their final shopping and to-do lists.  We all still need to remember safety rules of travel.  I have been nearly hit several times simply because the driver was too busy to look in both directions before pulling out onto the main roads.  I know we are all excited that Christmas is a few days away, there is snow on the ground, tourists are arriving and anxiously trying to get to the ski slopes or the grocery stores.....so let's all just take a deep breath and relax for a moment.  Accidents only ruin the fun.  And I promise the stores and ski slopes will still be open if you arrive 5 minutes later than planned.
