The Christmas day not to far away, and you can already see tempers fraying on the roads, foot to the floor, jumping red lights, horns blasting away in temper, everyone racing to get from A to B and couldn't careless if they run you over as long as THEY get to the shops, or wherever. I'm wondering where and when the big car pile up is going to happen, M5/M6/M25 it normally does about this time. And what's it all for ? just to wake up on the 25th to open some pretty paper and find a pair of socks, slippers, jumper or a candle. Is it worth the rush? :0)

Lol Teacake As an ex traffic cop I can assure you the driving behaviour you described doesn’t just wait for the build up to Christmas. It’s 24/7/365

No
Oooh you're a cheery little soul, ainthcha!
Not really, but confess up here you are more likely to be run over by a cyclist...
Women are daft, aren't they?
Well, may as well go through red lights. From my experience if someone does and as a result writes off some victim's car, the insurance company tries to blame the victim.

Maybe the dash cam goes on the Xmas list this year.

The road I can just see from my side window has been flowing freely all day (It's a main ring road too) a bit of a back log at school opening and closing times but that's usual.
The driving's like that round here all year round!
yeah course it is ( ho-ho-ho)
just go with the flow TC
No, it is not worth it.
Me, me, me, mine, mine ,mine, gimme gimme.
Oh little child of Bethlehem we have all forgotten thee...
I stopped doing Xmas shopping about 100 years ago. I used to put a lot of thought into buying nice, appropriate presents and all I got in return was a pile of carp. Still - it's the thought that counts!
We abandoned a trip to London to see the tennis at the Albert Hall because the traffic was so bad on the motorway. I don’t suppose everyone was going Christmas shopping, but there was a huge queue at the exit for the big local shopping mall.
Clover that’s the reason I started early, got the usual carp like boo hoo it’s only October blah blah blah but now I’m the one sitting back watching the pushing and shoving :0)
It's football causing huge traffic issues here this evening apparently. It has been further impacted by a car crashing in to a bus and five other vehicles, since abandoned as the occupants seem to have legged it.
Well, I've bought some family presents and am about to start on the 'abroad' cards, but I don't understand all this seeming hysteria. I now know I shall have family on Boxing Day and have begun planning a buffet menu. Mainly I'm busy with choral events; singing tomorrow in our church for a Rotary Club Christmas concert and then have several other events. I've been strewing greenery around the church and shall dig out home decorations next week sometime - or later and get on with making wreath for outside etc... My younger sprog has her 40th birthday on 14th Dec. so that is rather taking priority.

I quite enjoy the build-up - but why do some people seem to be getting hysterical about Our Lord's Birthday celebrations? It must be something to do with marketing. Note to self, buy mincemeat to make mince pies by 20th.
I’m full of relaxing now,all done, got two large Christmas dinners to organise,one at home and the other in a beautiful log cabin in the woods when me and three friends go on the 13-16th complete with hot tub
And then there are the SALES :-)
(Must end Tuesday!)
Especially SCS :0)
