December is a month filled with holidays galore. With Chanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Boxing Day, and other celebrations just around the corner, schedules are packed, and the roads are hectic. Staying safe during the holiday season, especially while driving, is important. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the U.S. Department of Transportation, there are more traffic-related deaths and collisions around holidays than any other time periods.

People were in and out of the door just behind us, leaving us washed in a blast of cold air.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner, but the “holiday” many people eagerly await falls the day after: Black Friday. Or should we call it Black Thursday, Friday, and Monday? After all, many stores begin their sales on Thanksgiving day, rather than waiting until Friday, and others have extended the festivities to include the Monday after, calling it ‘Cyber Monday’. Stores across the nation announce their sales with great fanfare, encouraging consumers to shop to their hearts’ content.
