In the spirit of the season, I’m going to forgive the following people today:
1. To the person who honked at me while I tried to get on the Gardiner this morning to go to work, I’m sorry if you thought I cut you off, but I’d rather not die on the day before the day before Christmas, and I had to either get in the lane or hit the concrete wall. I chose the latter.
2. To the crazy lady who butted in front of me not once, but twice (once at the bank, the next time at the drug store); it’s okay, we forgive you for being rude, at least you smiled when you were jumping ahead of me, each time.
3. To the idiot tellers at the bank who gave me a hard time about cashing my cheque from a US bank, I know you’re only doing your job, but I’m just looking to get paid.
4. To the wacky drivers of Toronto, I know you’re all just trying to get home for the holidays, so I’ll forgive you for blocking the intersection, for honking at a traffic jam to get into the beer store parking lot that was holding up traffic, for just about every wrong turn and foul temper that made my afternoon that much longer.
I forgive you, all of you, in the true spirit of the holiday.
God bless us, every one.
Happy Christmas!
