Whamageddon (Last) Christmas

[Dannyalcatraz]

It's Christmas Eve. Who are the survivors?

Survived! (Probably.)

Not going anywhere today- got Christmas Day prep, cooking and house tidying to do. And going to midnight mass where the only songs will be traditional.

I just have to make the 10 minute drive to church tonight…

I think this was an attempt at humour. Getting hit with a left and a right, ambidexterity... then the zinger, Rick Allen lost an arm in a car crash. Haw haw?

Yes, his left arm, leaving him…all right.

Wow... that was next level.

Don't take your normal route.

A 10 min gauntlet…

Don't take your normal route.

Unfortunately, that’s the shortest SAFE route.

There’s a route that is technically shorter, but I’d have to cross 4 lanes of traffic off of a neighborhood street directly into their parking lot. And the crossing is just on one side of a rise.

So not only is my line of sight limited in one direction, getting across 4 lanes (at night) directly into the church parking lot where a lot of other people* will be going will be simultaneously a lot more dangerous and likely congested enough that it would actually result in a longer time in the car.




* despite being in a small suburb of D/FW, our parish is one of the biggest in the USA. By enrollment, we technically qualify as a “megachurch”, even though we don’t really behave like one.

Between the Scylla of Wham and the Charybdis of Mariah Carey.

Personal safety vs. winning Whamageddon... tough call. If you do go with option 2, I recommend finishing off the adrenaline rush by hitting your parking space via a bootleg turn.

So how many folks would you expect for Christmas Eve?
