Bürgermeister Meisterburger 7- You are the ultimate Chris
villain. You genuinely hate Christmas. No one can explain
you just do. The sheer joy and spirit of the holiday season
like fingernails on the chalkboard of your soul. What happen
make you so bitter?
(6 - 10)
Charlie Brown - You are the kind of person who becomes m
depressive during the holiday season. On an existential searc
the true meaning of Christmas, you become distracted and
depressed by the commercialism that bombards our culture.
(H - 15)

Kris Kringle - You try to solve problems by giving toys to pe
You represent the commercial side of Christmas. You are the
ent who gives in to the screaming child, the friend who buy
or her way into another year of friendship with an iPod. Shan
you! Although many may see you as a “hero” when you arri
distribute your presents, deep down they are shallow, meanin
gifts given in the hopes of getting people to like you so you 1
cry at night. And no one wants socks and oranges, you basta
(16-20)

Winter Warlock - You give all the- appearances of being h|
toward the holiday season, but deep down, you are a big soft!
the true meaning of Christmas. Your heart melts from a chul
ice to that of a caring individual when you see kindness durinl
holiday season. You have the interests of your friends at hearl
use everything in your power to make them happy this seasol
(21 - 25)
Jack Skellington - You see Christmas as an adventure! Every!
is new and bright, and you are eager to e>yjerience it all first-1
... even if that means interjecting yourself into someone’s cell
tion. Mayhe take a step back and appreciate the season in al
hands-on approach.

Winter holidays increase traffic; precautions need to be taka

Be prepared for bad
weather when taking
long trips in winter
It is approaching the time of
year when it is important to be
well-prepared for what might
come along during that winter
trip over the pass.
It is essential to have a few
rudimentary items with you while
driving. Having extra water is
always a good idea, as well as
nonperishables like saltines and
peanut butter.
Carrying extra clothing is also
a plus. Keep a heavy coat in the
trunk even if the weather seems
nice. Space blankets are always
welcome in a snowdrift, and they
fit in the glove box. First-aid kits
are godsends for drivers who
have-been in an accident, and
they fit right next to the space
blanket in the glove box.
,
Remember to have extra cell
phone batteries on hand, and
only try to call for help once
or twice. This conserves battery
life, allowing additional attempts
later. •
When traveling during the
winter, it is always a good idea
to check the spare, and make
sure to know how to operate the
jack.
A set of tire chains might be
required to traverse some local
mountain passes Be sure to
know how to properly use them
so that they do not end up tearing
up the underside of the vehicle
and possibly the fenders.
Drivers should ensure that
their vehicles are safe for winter
travel. Make sure to check the
coolant level, or the water in the
engine will freeze, cracking the
block.
Tires are also an important
issue. Studded, all-terrain, Triple
Tread, all-weather radial? All
have merit, but the overall best
would be the standard all-weath
er radial. Simply pair that with a
set of chains.
' Having the oil changed before
the trip starts is always for the
best. Drivers can’t really go
wrong in having a good amount
of viscosity to help protect their
vehicle’s internal moving parts
from excessive temperatures.
It is generally a good idea to
have the entire vehicle tuned up
before deciding to travel any
where at any time during the
year, but this is especially
during the winter.
Students can also bring
vehicles to the college’s ad
five department to be se
at any point before finals
Just be sure to make an an
ment beforehand.
Car headlights shine at night on Highway 213, just one of the many roads where traffic is becoming ever moi
hectic because of the approaching holiday season.
