While we unofficially start the
Christmas season as early as September, we don't really feel its effects until after Halloween. Christmas-themed lamppost
decorations, Christmas
songs in
malls, the splash of red and green on everything, and pre-Christmas
sales are just some of the things that herald that season of giving once again. And then there's the
traffic.
It's just a fact of life.
Traffic is everywhere, but it gets especially congested around Christmastime. Everyone is either hurrying home or going to the mall for gift-hunting or just to unwind. Having a car is bad when one happens to use roads near malls or commercial establishments, but it is hell on the commuter who just wants to get home.
Here is FN's little contribution toward making your holiday commute as hassle-free as possible!
