So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Your Good Driving Habits Could Save You A Lot

By Adriana Noton

The driving habits that you practice could mean the difference between life and death in many situations on the road. A lot of people just don't think ahead at what the consequences of their bad habits behind the wheel until it is too late. Make sure that you don't practice bad habits while driving your car is super important.

Cell phone use while driving is being prohibited in more and more places around the globe. There have been many people who lost their life in a car accident due to their use or someone else's use of a cell phone while driving. Driving should be a time when you are completely focused on the road and other drivers around you, not the latest gossip from your friend on your cell phone.

Cell phones are great for an emergency, but they are not great for texting while driving down the road. Texting takes your attention away from the road worse than talking on the phone does. Texting is considered one of the most dangerous driving habits out there and is fast becoming illegal every where you go.

Many car accidents are caused from someone following too closely behind anther driver. This is also considered one of the most irresponsible driving habits that you could have. You can never tell when the driver in front of you may have to come to a sudden stop.

Some bad driving habits can cost you a lot more in gas. You should always pay attention to the limit and stay at that speed. If you drive over 60MPH, you are doing nothing more than wasting gas and risking lives. Going this fast won't get you to your destination that much faster so it is simply not worth having an accident over. Driving too fast will also cause your car to use much more gas than it needs to.

No one likes to get stuck in traffic. The worst part of this, however, is the gas that you are wasting while your car idles. If you would like to stop your bad driving habits, you should start by avoiding high volume traffic at all costs. You should always try to take detours that will steer you away from the traffic jams.

One driving habit that could cost you a lot in an accident is forgetting to turn on your turning signal when you plan to make a turn. If you are slowing down, this may not be enough of a warning to drivers behind you that you are going to slow enough to make a turn. There have been many wrecks due to someone nut using their turning signal at the appropriate times.

You need to always make sure that you and everyone else in your car put on seat belts before that car moves. There could have been many people still alive today had they just simply put on their seat belt before getting on the road. This is especially true of children who are just getting into the car belts. As a parent, you should always check that their seat belt is fastened before you drive.
