Holidays

It's that surreal week between Christmas and New Years where life isn't normal. The kids are home from school, yet work continues but in many places at a slower pace as many take the week off. This week is sort of like a seasonal hangover.

Beware, police are beefing up patrols for drunk drivers this holiday season. The story I'm referencing is out of Westbrook but still I'm sure statewide cops will out looking and waiting for people operating under the influence (OUI). Westbrook has added $10,000 to make the roads safer. There are only a few things I'm passionate about and one is curbing drunk driving.

As Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years approach many people will spend time with their extended families. There will be many traveling far distances whether it is because they work and live out of state or they go to college and are returning home for the holidays.

I had an interesting debate yesterday with a few people regarding stores closing on Easter, other holidays and even Sundays. It all came from someone’s status update I saw on Facebook. In short it basically read: “I’m mad Walmart is closed today”, meaning Easter.

Today people will stop and reflect about the legacy of the late civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. — one of a number of famous people who made marks of their own despite having names that ended with "Junior." Dr. King's father was also a minister who inspired many followers, but obviously his son reached even greater heights. Here's a look back at ten other famous Juniors. Read

The holiday season has snuck up on the American consumer once again, and rather than feeling completely overwhelmed by travel plans and last-minute shopping and the millionth playing of 'Jingle Bell Rock,' almost half of the population simply wishes we could just skip Christmas altogether.

Last year, Best Buy made a bunch of their customers angry when they were unable to fill the orders taken on Black Friday and Cyber Monday due to a lack of inventory. The company then failed to make its customers aware of this until just days before Christmas. Needless to say, Best Buy’s customer-service practices have not been held in very high regard ever since.
