I was talking to a friend of mine...she was complaining
that she hadn’t yet gotten any Christmas Cards, then I told her it was just the
3rd...but she had been in the holiday spirit for a while…putting up her tree
after Thanksgiving, which was early this year, and had almost completed her
shopping for her family. She was getting
ready for her first party of the season, a gathering from her church.
Christmas seems to start earlier each year. After talking with another friend, he told me
that people plan in advance to be able to secure a place to hold
functions. There are only so many
places, and so many groups to have a party.

That is why it is also a good time to remind you that
driving and drinking or drugs don't mix.
December is National Drunk and Drugged Driving Prevention Month, and
with parties starting earlier, and people celebrating more, it is wise to be
cautious when driving, and if you have partaken of the holiday
"spirits", make sure you have a designated driver, or phone a taxi.

Lately I have seen alot of the commercial for
"buzzed" driving. It doesn’t
matter if you just have one or two; it can still affect your driving reactions,
and can still result in accidents or injury to others.

Holiday parties are fun, and allow you to relax and spend
time with friends from work or elsewhere.
Just practice responsibility for your actions and Be Safe!
December is a joyous time of the year to gather with families and friends. Sadly, it’s also when most vehicular accidents commonly occur, particularly those due to driving under the influence. I hope that through this awareness program, people will be reminded to always drive safely, and to keep their holiday experience good and healthy. Thanks for sharing!

That campaign is very suitable during the holidays, because people are going to parties, and will have access to alcoholic beverages. It will surely help everyone to remind themselves to drink moderately, or if they chose to drink all night, don’t drive at all. Thanks for sharing!

Christmas is definitely a great time to have fun with our family, loved ones, and friends. While it’s not bad to drink on such an occasion, it would be best to avoid doing so if you’re driving home afterwards, even if it's just a glass or two. Thanks for sharing this post with us, Terry. This could really help raise awareness about drunk driving. All the best!
