If you are subjected to large crowds of Holder’s people, it will only make you prejudiced.
I stay out of the stores (and do my shopping throughout the year). However, even avoiding traffic congestion areas isn’t enough to avoid the madness of drivers (for the next 30 days) who will just run stop signs out of turn, drive the wrong way down streets, make u-turns over a middle island, etc. They will exhibit no patience or tolerance for any other drivers. Beware. The shoppers are nuts.
