Sugarplums & Car Crashes

By Dave Trux

On the one hand, the holidays are a time of great joy as we celebrate the season with close friends and family. On the other hand, there’s that other thing called shopping that not everyone was born to do. So, what do far too many of our fellow American’s do, especially the ones that prefer to not shop until they drop? We procrastinate by putting off this unsavory task until the final days before Christmas.


Once the fateful day arrives and we’ve run out of excuses and time, we enter our cars like they’re chariots of battle. From there, we hit the wet and wild roads heading towards the nearest coliseum, I mean shopping mall. Our hearts race and our blood pressure rises from the relentless gridlock of other impatient drivers that swerve, merge and brake suddenly though a sea of aggravating obstacles.
