TC is a Lieutenant in the Bangor, Maine Police Department. He writes their Facebook page with a flare that is second to none.
His latest post contained some of the old standard hints for holiday shopping. Most should be a given - like keeping your packages out of sight and not punching other shoppers over the latest toy because you will hate to have to Skype the kids from county jail on Christmas! Cause sure as you give in to that urge to HAVE THAT TOY AT ANY COST someone will whip out their phone, film it and send it to the police and ruin your holiday (see comment regarding Skyping at Christmas)!
Drive through (carefully) a parking space rather than choosing one you have to back out of - and if you have to back up try to at least glance in those decorative mirrors on the sides of your car. They are there for a reason.
But I think my favorite in today's post was his recommendation for wearing mittens.
Middle fingers are not the best way to say, "Happy Holidays." Keep those things down low in the car. If you have a hard time keeping "the bird" to yourself-wear mittens. Mittens make the WOTB (waving of the bird) appear to be a friendly salutation or a "go ahead of me at the traffic-light" wave. Mittens will make you appear kinder.
Anything that makes us appear kinder (or even makes us be kinder) in the tumultuous world of today is worth sharing.
So if you have a hard time controlling your fingers?
Buy mittens!
