Holiday Cheer Vanishes Quickly on New Jersey Highways

I have noticed one thing this holiday season in New Jersey. There are places where our holiday cheer is nonexistent.

No Holiday Cheer In New Jersey This Year

This is the time of the year that so many of us have been looking forward to. New Jersey residents love the holiday season.

It's a time when we can relax our rushed attitudes and appreciate our fellow residents. Or is it?

You'll find that magical holiday spirit in certain places throughout the Garden State. But there are locations where the warm feelings of the season disappear faster than a paycheck on bill-paying day.

No Holiday Spirit On New Jersey Roads

We live in a state where residents gladly round up or donate to a charity inside the store, then lean on their horns 4 feet away in the parking lot.

It seems to me that the parking lots and roads are the places that lack our Christmas spirit, and those are the places where we need it the most.

The same person who just dropped $100 on toys to donate to Toys For Tots is the same one giving an old lady the finger because she isn't parking fast enough. That's New Jersey for you.

Where's The "Good Will" On New Jersey's Roads?

We are such nice people in every other place in our lives, but when we get behind the wheel, New Jersey can be better if we're being completely honest.
