Christmas Fruits

In December you can split the cars on the freeway into two broad categories; people going to work and people going Christmas shopping. People going Christmas shopping will go over a long list of Christmas gifts while they are stuck in the traffic jam. People going to work will honk horns and curse under their breath while they are stuck in the traffic jam. The thing is, you can usually tell the two apart. And you meet them on your to work and on your way home from work.

Identifying them on the way to work could be harder, especially if you’re going to work yourself and are busy hating the traffic for just being there. But they are very easy to spot on the way home. Their cars are full of the day’s shopping and while I’m stuck in the traffic jam on my way home, I often look at what Christmas holiday gifts they have bought. It’s a fun distraction and sometime you come across unique Christmas gifts stored in the cars. Often there are people taking home big Christmas gift baskets, a timeless gift in my opinion, some have bags of clothes and boxes of shoes and toys. I like looking at the Christmas gift baskets the most and I love seeing what kind people are getting.

The Christmas fruit baskets are always fun to look at and I see more than a few of them. So while I may hate the people going Christmas shopping on my way to work, I think I could positively socialize with them on my way home. From what I can tell about their taste in Christmas gifts, we would get along very well.
