The other night,
Tracy and I went out to buy a Christmas tree.
Our first Christmas in our own house.
This time I am not settling for the fake ones.

So we found one that we liked, and boy did it smell good.
A freshly cut Douglas Fir.
I guess I was so used to having the smell of Christmas plastic,
that I can really appreciate the sweet scent of its holiday nectar.

And I don’t mean the smell of a newly opened Car Pine freshener smell,
I mean one that would lift your spirits up
and make your whole Christmas ambiance complete.

Speaking of Spirits.

While we were out choosing our Christmas tree,
there was this family, A husband, a wife, and a little boy,
trying to buy one of their own as well.

But, as I noticed the guy, holding a beer can,
acting very cocky, with his speech slurred.
So, I became a bit upset,
because I know that this guy is not capable of maneuvering a vehicle,
right in the middle of downtown traffic.

So, we assumed that his wife will be the one driving their BMW 325i,
and that will be the end of that.

But, as we further investigated,
we saw the wife, drinking her own beer too.

Now first of all, Tracy and I don’t meddle in anybody’s business,
but their son was with them, whom we presume to be around 8 years old.

Second of all,
As a parent, there is no reason why your child’s safety is not your first concern.
It’s just sad that this kid looks up to them.

Now, I had my days of drinking. (3 years sober, thank you very much)
And I admit, I too have driven while under the influence of these “spirits”.
As well as ride in with friends and families who were so drunk,
they walk like new born giraffes.
And it was just by the grace of God, that we didn’t die.

But that was a long time ago.
A long, long, long, long, long, time ago.
And there are no plans in repeating that idiocy.

So anyway,
We know that these two idiots will be driving drunk,
with their son,
with a Christmas tree tied on their roof,
in downtown traffic.

So, Tracy and I called 911.
And we reported this guy.

Yes we did.

We can’t stand ignorant, selfish people like these.
What if he wrecks into an accident?
What if it was me?
I was driving with my family too!

So, let this be a warning to you all!

If I catch you drinking and driving.
Make no mistake.
I have a loaded cell phone,
and I will use it.

I will call the police.
I will report you.

Well,
Except if it’s peak rate hours,
or if I am roaming.
