Christmas is just around the corner and anticipation is in the air. When I was growing up, the last few days before the festivities began turned into a guessing game between my siblings and me. We would sit and stare at the presents under the tree and try to guess what each beautifully wrapped package contained.
Finally, on Christmas morning, we'd excitedly open our gifts and solve the holiday mystery. As great as it is to anticipate and enjoy gifts this holiday season, might I suggest one small break with tradition? Perhaps this year, make plans to open at least one gift a little early. I'll tell you why in this installment of Plastic Printers template of the week.
The Great Holiday Migration
According to AAA, almost 92 million Americans will travel 50 miles or more during year-end holidays. To put that in perspective, it works out to about 30% of the total population in the United States.
Year-end travel is defined by the 11 day span that runs from December 23 to January 2. It is the longest holiday travel season of the year, which spurs many of us to make plans to spend it with friends and family.
While travelers head out with the best intentions; breakdowns and accidents happen. This is where breaking the tradition will do travelers some good this year.
The primary causes of trouble on the road are:
- Maintenance problems
- Weather conditions
- Driver negligence
The good news is if you plan ahead, many of these causes can be avoided.
A Mechanic's Christmas Manual
There are several things travelers can do before they ever hit the road that will increase roadway safety.
They are:
- Put chains or snow tires on the car; check tire pressure
- Check fluids and replace worn-out engine components
- Fill tank with gas and refresh washer fluid
- Have a fully stocked survival kit in the car
- Never leave home without an ice scraper, gloves, and warm winter clothes
- Always keep a cell phone and car charger accessible
