Indeed!
Also, remember even though it is now after Christmas, use the word a lot, ask people if they had a Merry Christmas?!
And enjoy the bonus effect.
That’s ANOTHER thing I like about my town: this morning, I got up later than usual (about 7:15/7:30) &, after grabbing my coffee, heard the rumble of the garbage truck (garbage day is Tuesday, but for this & next week, it’s Wednesday).
So I put my coffee down on my desk & raced outside to get the cans & leaf bags out to the curb. I got there just as they were rolling up to our house. I dragged the cans into the street & handed them off, chucking that I almost forgot about the day switch.
Both the men on the ground wished me a “
Merry Christmas” and the driver rolled down the window & wished me the same - as did I all of them. The driver, drives a township pick-up around town as well & toots me when he sees me out running, occasionally rolling down the window @ a stop light & chatting.
Great crew in a great town!
