Think about the driver. They’re not at home wrapping presents. They’re navigating icy roads with a smile. They are the real heroes.
Many drivers volunteer for the Eve shift for the overtime pay. It’s a fat paycheck. So, when you board, say “Merry Christmas” like you mean it.
Don’t be the Grinch who complains about a late bus. That driver is giving up their family time for you. Buy them a candy cane. It’s the law of the road.

The “Blame the Reindeer” Rule
Buses on Christmas Eve are often late. This is a scientific fact. Blame the reindeer traffic.
No, really. Weather gets weird. Roads get clogged with last-minute shoppers. It’s a perfect storm of chaos. The bus will come when it comes.
Your best strategy is to accept the delay. Take a deep breath. Listen to “Jingle Bell Rock” on your headphones. The bus will arrive, eventually. Or Dave will save you.
